About the organization:
The Indian Air Force took off as a tiny fleet with four Westland Wapiti army co-operative by-planes, six RAF trained officers and 19 Hawai Sepoys. Today, it is the fourth largest Air Force in the world with a highly technical and specialised fighting force that safeguards our skies against enemy invasions. The two dates, mentioned above, are landmarks in the history of the Indian Air Force. On 1st April 1932, the Indian Air Force came into being and on 1st April 1954 Air Marshal Subroto Mukherjee, one of the founding members of the Air Force took over as the first Indian Chief of Air Staff. The interim witnessed the most bloodiest war in the history of mankind, for the second time-World War II. The IAF lent its support to UK during the war. KK Majumdar, one of the legendary heroes of the Indian Air Force was rated one of the twelve best pilots of the Allied Air Forces. The same decade also saw the birth of an Independent India followed by the formation of the Indian Air Force, as we know it today. This was the time the Indian Air Force entered a new era with the acquisition of jet aircraft. The period also saw the two Indo-Pak wars, both of which were marked by the neutralisation of Pakistani Air efforts by the Indian Air Force. The IAF also contributed to the UN Peace keeping mission in Congo as well as the Sino India Conflict, with dedication and commitment. Over the next two decades the Indian Air Force undertook massive upgrading of its aircraft and equipments. As part of the process, the Indian Air Force introduced over twenty new aircraft types. Jaguars and several variations of the MiG were among the aircraft introduced to replace the Dakotas and the Packets. The MiG is a revolutionary aircraft that was introduced to the Indian fleet in the eighties. It operates up to three times the speed of sound and over 80,000 feet above sea level. The same period also witnessed a number of world records set by Indian Air Force personnel. Sqn Ldr Makkar and Flt Lt RTS Chinna set a world record by bombing from their Mi-17 helicopter in Ladakh at an altitude of 5050 meters. Sqn Ldr Sanjay Thapar, was the first Indian to para jump over the South Pole. Exploring new vistas, Sqn Ldr Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian cosmonaut to venture into outer space as part of an Indo-Soviet space program. The last decade of the twentieth century saw a phenomenal change in the structure of the Indian Air Force with induction of women into the Air Force for short service commissions. It was also a time when the Air Force undertook some of the most perilous operations ever undertaken. In 1999, the Indian Air Force undertook “Operation Safed Sagar”, the most unique air operation undertaken by any air force in the world. An air attack was launched and won at an unprecedented height, under hostile climatic conditions against an intruding enemy. The Indian Air Force also participated in the peacekeeping mission at Somalia as part of a humanitarian operation. After you have cleared the selection procedure, you are sent to one of the Air Force training establishments. Here you undergo scientifically planned rigorous physical and academic training that is aimed to gear you for the life in Air Force. All the Air Force training establishments are equipped with the state-of-the-art infrastructure and the best of the facilities including clubs, swimming pools, squash courts etc. Once you join the training establishments, Air Force takes care of all your requirements like food, lodging etc. and also gives you a monthly stipend during the training period. To know how these establishments instil the Air Force tradition and make men out of boys, click on any of the links below. The National Defence Academy (NDA), at Khadakwasla, is one of the most prestigious inter-services training establishments in India. Brilliant military leaders, ministers of state, astronauts and several recipients of gallantry and distinguished service awards have graduated from this institution. Click here to read more about the training at the Academy. Experience the life in NDA through the journal of Rahul Khanna. Click here to get a personal account of a cadet’s journey through the six semesters of the NDA.Since its inception in 1971, the Air Force Academy (AFA) at Dundigal has built a formidable reputation as the premier training institution of the Indian Air Force. Situated 43 km from Hyderabad, it is also equipped as an Air Force Base to support flying operations. The Academy however, focuses its attention on training and related activities. The institute was set up with the intention of training cadets from all streams at one central location. The Air Force Academy imparts training to the Flying, Technical and Ground Duty Branches as well as officers of the Army and Navy.he Air Force Administrative College at Coimbatore is one of the oldest training Institutions for officers in the IAF. The college started as the Initial Training Wing at Pune in 1943 and was shifted to its present location at Redfields, Coimbatore on 11 Jul 1946 exactly a year after Wg Cdr S Mukherjee, OBE (the first Indian Chief of Air Staff, RIAF) surveyed the site. The site for the college was donated by Cavalier GK Devarajulu, a prominent businessman of Coimbatore. The college was initially setup to impart service training to Flight Cadets of the general Duties (Pilot) Branch. In 1949, the college also undertook training of Flight Cadets of Administration, Accounts, Equipment, Education and Meteorology Branches. Gradually the Junior Commander’s Course also shifted to this college from Jalahalli. In 1957, the college was named as Air Force Administrative College. Today, AFAC has grown into a large multi-tier training institution that imparts training to all branch officers of the IAF. The primary task of this College is to conduct In–Service Courses for officers of IAF. Consequent to a deep-rooted review of training pattern in IAF in 2006, AFAC is tasked to conduct generic courses for officers of all branches and professional courses for officers of Accounts, Administration, Education and Meteorology branches. Officers of the sister services and of a few friendly foreign countries also benefit from some of the courses. Since the introduction of restructured pattern of training in 2006, 3165 officers from IAF and 10 officers of friendly foreign countries have successfully completed training at this College. The faculty of meteorology at this college is affiliated to Bharathiar University, Coimbatore for awarding Post Graduate Diploma, M Phil and Ph D programmes in meteorology.
