This day marks the establishment of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and since its inception, the force has been playing a key role in preserving India’s sovereignty and security.

The Indian Air Force is held in high regard by the public for its vital role in maintaining national security, aiding in natural disaster relief efforts, and actively participating in humanitarian missions.
