INDIAN AIR FORCE DAY 08 OCT

 








HISTORY OF THE INDIAN AIR FORCE

The Indian Air Force started in 1932 with just six officers and four small planes. Over the years, it has grown into one of the strongest air forces in the world. From the Indo-Pak wars to rescue missions during floods and earthquakes, the IAF has always protected the nation with pride.

The IAF's motto is "Nabha Sparsham Deeptam", which means "Touch the Sky with Glory." It comes from the Bhagavad Gita and reflects the Air Force's courage, discipline, and dedication to the nation.

Today, the IAF is using modern aircraft, drones, and advanced technology to make India's defence stronger. Air Force Day 2025 celebrates not just their power, but also their promise to keep India safe always and forever.

CELEBRATIONS ACROSS INDIA

The main celebration happens at the Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad or another important air station. People witness amazing aerobatic shows, parades, and fly-pasts by fighter jets like the Rafale, Sukhoi-30MKI, Tejas, and Mirage 2000.

90% of Indian students choose careers blindly.

 Here's why that's a crisis


The career counselling crisis in India is real when only 1 in 10 students receive professional advice, according to the study by the UN. The problem persists in career choices, with decisions often based on advice from cousins, uncles, or prevailing trends rather than a student's true capabilities or what they want to do. From private to government schools, this issue remains widespread. In this article, we discuss what experts say about it, the factors behind it, and possible solutions.


MASSIVE TALENT, MINIMAL GUIDANCE

India has the world’s largest youth population and one of the largest education systems, but career counselling is treated as an afterthought.

WHEN CAREER CHOICES BECOME A SHOT IN THE DARK

India’s higher education enrolment has crossed 28%, but the numbers hide a deeper crisis.

Just 10% of students know the cost of their courses, while 8 in 10 struggle to make career choices because they lack clear information about options, institutions, and prospects.

HOW INDIA CAN BRIDGE THE CAREER COUNSELLING GAP

Compare this to developed nations, wherein career counselling is included in education.

In Australia, Canada, or the UK, students are compelled to pass through a series of aptitude tests, career fairs, and formal grooming before settling for courses at a university.

It's not a matter of avoiding risk but of giving direction. India does not do it this way and leaves it to chance, or to the neighbourhood uncle.
