There is acute shortage of Officers in the Armed Forces. Very few youngsters are self motivated to join the Armed Forces. Most of the youngsters in Tamil Nadu are unaware of the opportunities available in the Armed Forces.

In order to meet the need of the Armed Forces, it has become necessary to conduct Publicity Camps at various places to create awareness among the college students. One such awareness camp was conducted by the Indian Air Force, with the Air Force Publicity Bus Disha Cell conducted by the Air Force Station, Sulur, Coimbatore.

The Indian Air Force Publicity Team consisting of Wg.Cder.V.S.Kumar, of SSB, Mysore, Sqn.Ldr.Dhanushkodi Raja , a Para Commander and MWO Ramalingam PRO of the Team arrived at St.John’s College Playamkottai. On hearing the news the Exwel Trust Team rushed to St. Johns’ College to welcome them.

We Welcomed Wg.Cdr.V.S.Kumar, Sqn.Ldr.Dhanushkodi Raja and MWO Ramalingam and offered our services to them. It was a well planned event. More than 2000 college students (Both girls and Boys) visited the Publicity Bus in batches. The bus was equipped with the models of modern Aircrafts of the Indian Air Force with a Su 37 Flight Simulator.

The Simulator was a great experience to the students. Many students were given chance to sit in the cockpit and was given piloting experience of a fighter aircraft.

Side by side Wg.Cdr.V.S.Kumar and Sqn.Ldr.Raja conducted motivation classes and career guidance for Indian Air Force. More than 2000 students participated in the class. The Career prospects in the Indian Air Force explained by Wg.Cdr.V.S.Kumar very impressive and the motivation lecture given by Sqn.Ldr.Raja in Tamil was emotional. The students were really impressed by his lecture. Wg.Cdr.V.S.Raja welcomed the students to the SSB Mysore for the Selection with full confidence.

The programme as a whole was very useful for the college students and we can say that it was a great success. We publish some photographs taken at the function for your information. It was a great event.

WE REQUEST THE YOUNGSTERS TO COME FORWARD FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE COUNTRY. IT IS A GREAT PRIDE TO SERVE THE NATION IN THE ARMED FORCES THAN IN ANY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
