Kashmir youth eager to join Indian Air Force
Kashmir youth eager to join Indian Air Force


Srinagar, July 23: Thousands of unemployed youth in Kashmir turned up at a recruitment rally by the Indian Air Force (IAF) here on Wednesday.


The weeklong recruitment rally will conclude on July 27.

IAF has been running a campaign, 'Join Indian Air Force-Be an Air Warrior', to lure youth in the region.

The participants said they were excited about participating in the recruitment drive.

"I am very passionate about this job. From the last many years Indian Air Force did not conduct recruitment camps in our area. We had to cover long distances to Ambala, Mumbai and Chennai for applying. So this rally is a good opportunity for all of us," said Nasir Ahmad, an applicant.

Some of the participants hailed the opportunity provided for them to join the IAF.

"I think getting a job in Indian Air Force is a big thing. It is the best job one can get. We are quite enthusiastic to join Air Force," said Tajamul Hussian, another applicant.

Besides IAF, Border Security Forces, Central Reserve Police Force and the Army have been conducting such recruitment rallies in the disputed region.

Its not fake and should'nt be surprising. Similar drives have been held for J&K Police, the para military CPRF and the Indian Army as well. Infact, more 60-65% of J&K police is local Kashmiris and muslims and have helped a lot in counter-intelligence against militants.

couldnt agree more with glomex. We have to empower youth and good education to children. Apart from armed forces they habe to given preferences in other govt jobs and pvt sector. Enourage in sports music . Revitalise kashmir. Bollywood should go back to kasmir instead of swiss.

^^^^ Enough with the same rhetoric over and over....You sound like a broken record!!!

If you truly cared about Kashmiri's, then you would be happy with this news....Kashmiri's can finally aspire to become something....get good jobs....improve the situation for their families etc...instead of being stuck in this mess created by both our countries....

Or are you so arrogant that you can't bare to see that Kashmiri's love their country as any Indian should!!

Education and prosperity might bring an end 2 kashmir issue!

The only solution of issue is wt Kashmiri demands.
And they demand freedom from Indian Army.

 

[Awesome]

CND - Take this as a strong warning. You must give respect to the members here Talk only about the topic and just the topic do not make comments about members.

Actually.. If this had been done in the first place, i.e giving Kashmiris their rights along with demilitarizing the territory. I don't think there would have ever been the loss of human life on all sides as there is. It's a good thing the Kashmiri boys now have the chance to experience life on the edge..(or maybe they have done that already?? )

IAF gets its first Cheetal choppers from HAL.


Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Saturday handed over the first batch of four Cheetal helicopters to the Indian Air Force. NC Agarwal, Director (Design and Development) handed over the helicopters to Air Vice Marshal M. Bahadur. Assistant Chief of Air Staff.

"The IAF had placed an order for 10 Cheetals, of which the first batch of four has been delivered. The remaining six are expected to be handed over by September. We expect the IAF's order to be followed up by the Army and also the Government of India which is looking at procuring helicopters for various roles, especially for internal security,'' said R Srinivasan, MD (Helicopter Complex), HAL.AVM Bahadur who received the helicopters said; "The re-engined Cheetals will increase our operational capabilities, especially for high altitude operations. We have faith in HAL and hope it will continue to deliver and provide product support.''

The Cheetal is the re-engined Cheetah helicopter, with replacement of Artouste IIIB with the TM333-2M2 engine. The reduced weight of the TM 333-2M2 engine with better specific fuel consumption has resulted in increased range, endurance and payload. This makes the helicopter more versatile in various roles including search & rescue and missions in high altitude. The Cheetal has been designed to incorporate upgraded features such as light weight modern technology cockpit instruments like electrically driven Artificial Horizon, Directional Gyro, and light weight modern avionics - accurate navigation and homing through GPS, VHF HOMER, Flight Monitoring System (FMS), Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and Emergency Locator Transmitter.
