President Droupadi Murmu on Friday said the Indian Air Force’s contribution to the nation’s service is etched in “golden letters” and it is not only guarding the skies but also making a paramount contribution to the country’s space programme.

In her address at a ceremony held at the Hindan Air Force Station to award President’s Standard and Colours to four units of the IAF, Murmu said she believed that more and more women will sign up for the force and serve the nation and emphasised that increased representation of women in the force will make it “more inclusive”.

She also extended her wishes to women on International Women’s Day.
