ITANAGAR, 8 Jul: Governor KT Parnaik urged the Indian Air Force (IAF) to actively engage with the local youths, especially those residing near advanced landing grounds, to motivate them to pursue careers in the armed forces.
During a meeting with Shillong-based Eastern Air Command’s Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief (AOC-in-C), Air Marshal Surat Singh at the Raj Bhavan here on Tuesday, the governor emphasized that such outreach could instil a sense of pride, discipline, and patriotism among the younger generation
