The Border Security Force (BSF) air wing has got its first woman flight engineer in its over 50 years history following completion of a first in-house training capsule. Inspector Bhawna Chaudhary along with four male subordinate officers were recently awarded their flying badges by BSF Director General Daljit Singh Chawdhary. 

The BSF border force has been tasked to operate the aviation unit of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) since 1969 and it caters to the operational requirements of all the paramilitary forces and special forces like the NSG and the NDRF.
