In a major milestone, the Indian Navy recently welcomed its first
woman pilot with Sub-Lieutenant Shivangi.
She joined the operational duties at the Kochi naval base on MondayDec 02,2019 and will fly the Dornier surveillance aircraft of the Indian Navy.
As we celebrate the Indian Navy Day on Wednesday December 4, let us take a look at Sub-Lieutenant Shivangi's inspiring journey from a small town in Bihar to the Indian Navy.
Shivangi hails from Bihar's Muzaffarpur. Her father is a school teacher and her mother is a homemaker. She did her schooling from DAV Public School at Bakhari, Muzzafarpur. Shivangi was inducted into the Indian Navy under the Short Service Commission (SSC)-Pilot entry scheme and was part of the 27th Naval Orientation Course (NOC) at the Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala. She was commissioned into the Navy in June 2018. As part of her training, Shivangi has flown Pilatus PC 7 MkII, Basic Trainer at AFA and completed Dornier Conversion with the Indian Navy at Kochi. She will continue her training at INAS 550, the Dornier squadron at INS Garuda, to become a fully operational pilot on Maritime Reconnaissance (MR) aircraft.
