Shakti Sharma Becomes First Woman Non-Medical Air Vice Marshal

Shakti Sharma has made history as the first woman officer from a non-medical branch of the Indian Armed Forces to be promoted to the rank of Air Vice Marshal.

This two-star rank promotion marks a significant milestone for gender inclusivity in the Indian Air Force, breaking the long-standing barrier previously limited to the medical corps.

Her elevation follows a distinguished career in logistics and administration, setting a new precedent for women in command roles within the Indian defense establishment.
