Guardians of the Sky-II A Student Interactive Road Drive By The IAF

Guardians of the Sky-II

As a part of proactive programmes to connect with the youth, the IAF is conducting a Student Interaction Drive, named ‘Guardians of the Sky’, from 01 Sep – 27 Sep 14.  The Drive is aimed to closely interact with students in eight cities across South India so as to create awareness about the IAF in general and career opportunities in the officers’ cadre in particular.


Selected young IAF officers in customised Gypsies, along with support staff, would be ‘flagged off’ by Air Marshal S Sukumar AVSM, Air Officer in charge Personnel, from Air Force Station Tambaram at Chennai on 01 Sep 14.  The team would cover eight cities – Chennai, Tiruchirappalli, Madurai, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikode, Mangalore before being ‘flagged in’ at Bengaluru on 27 Sep 14 and covering over 1755 kms. Enroute, ‘Guardians of the Sky’ would meet young men and women at sixteen premier educational institutes in these cities, including the IITs at Madras and NIT Calicut. At each location, a multidisciplinary group of IAF officers would be on hand to interact with the students, to provide details on career opportunities in the IAF and to answer queries. A few interesting events are also planned to encourage participation by students.

Guardians of the Sky-II

An IAF Adventure team, comprising parasailing instructors and  powered hang glider, form a part of the Drive. Selected students at each institute would be given a unique opportunity to participate in parasailing at a suitable location in the vicinity, while some others would also get to visit a nearby IAF base and soar to the skies in a Powered Hang Glider.
The drive would provide a great opportunity for students to experience glimpses of the adventurous life that IAF offers and of avenues available as an IAF officer. For the IAF, this novel effort is a way of reaching out to the youth by offering opportunities in aero sports at their doorstep; to make them more ‘air minded’ and aware of the uniqueness of ‘Brand IAF’.
