IAF’s first woman pilot to get into fighter jet by June 2017

One of the seven women cadets undergoing training at the Air Force Academy (AFA) near Hyderabad could become India's first woman fighter pilot. The grand opportunity has come their way after the Ministry of Defence (MoD) allowed women to fly combat jets in a landmark decision on Saturday. The last frontier for the women pilots has opened nearly 20 years after they were first inducted into the armed forces.
