Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, the Chief of Air Staff, addressed graduating cadets at the Air Force Academy on Saturday. He emphasized the importance of upholding the ethos, traditions, and honour of the Indian Air Force (IAF) as they embark on their challenging yet honourable careers.

Singh, who acted as the reviewing officer for the Combined Passing Out Parade, highlighted the crucial roles these officers will play, whether airborne or on the ground. He urged the newly commissioned officers to become future leaders and commanders with the responsibility serving as a motivating factor, rather than a burden.

The event also celebrated the first batch of Weapon Systems Branch officers being inducted into the IAF, alongside the presentation of 'Wings' and 'Brevets' to personnel from the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, and international allies.
