New Delhi [India], July 8: Banasthali has given many firsts and they’re now leaders in dozens of areas. We also have 14 students in judiciary, several in police services and thousands working in multi-national companies at higher posts.
The students of Banasthali Vidyapith have maintained their dominance in various military services of the country and have once again proved that the students here are full of courage, leadership, and the spirit of unwavering service towards the nation. It is worth mentioning that Sqd Ldr Avani Chaturvedi, who was a student here, became the first female pilot to fly a fighter jet and it was she who opened the way for women pilots to fly fighter jets in the country, earlier women used to fly fighter jets only in a few selected countries like America, Brazil. Avni, who was an IT graduation student from Banasthali University, took training as a commercial pilot from here.
She was also the first female fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force to participate in aerial combat exercises abroad in 2023, not only this, Avani Chaturvedi became the first Indian woman to fly a MiG 21 Bison alone. Following in Avni’s footsteps, Aastha Poonia, a B.Tech student at the university, has achieved the distinction of becoming the first fighter pilot in the Navy.
