What did PM Modi say about women's empowerment on January 31?

PM Modi applauded the historic moment when on January 11 an all-women cockpit crew of Air India landed a direct flight from San Francisco to Bengaluru at Kempegowda International Airport, flying over the North Pole and covering a distance of about 16,000 kilometres.

He also sent praises to the two Indian Air Force (IAF) women officers who became the first women pilots to participate in the Republic Day parade.

Flight Lieutenant Bhawana Kanth, became the first woman fighter pilot to be part of the Indian Air Force contingent on January 26. Flight Lieutenant Swati Rathore became the first woman to be part of the flypast over Rajpath as she flew a Mi-17 V5 helicopter in a formation of four choppers. "You must have seen two women IAF officers creating history in this year's Republic Day parade. Be it any field, the participation of the nation's women is continuously increasing," he said.
