Indian Air Force Flight Lieutenant Swati Rathore, who hails from Rajasthan,
 will add a new chapter in the history of woman empowerment by becoming the first
 woman to lead the fly past on the main Republic Day parade at Delhi’s Rajpath.
She is the daughter of Dr Bhavani Singh Rathore , who is a Deputy Director in the state’s Agriculture Department.
Swati was born in a small village in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan and did her schooling in Ajmer. 
In a painting competition, she made a tricolour during her childhood, 
showing her passionate love for her country. Eventually, her parents pushed her to realize her dream, 
and she entered the NCC Air Wing after graduation. Swati dreamed of becoming a 
pilot and was chosen for her first attempt at the IAF in 2014. Her brother is in the Merchant Navy.
If I talk About Swati Selection in Airforce In 2013, Swati appeared in the Air Force Common Admission Test. 
After clearing it,she was called for an interview by the Air Force Selection Board, 
Dehradun, in March 2014.According to Swati, there were around 200 female students from all over the country, out of which 98 were selected for screening. 
Only five students were left after the screening, in which only she was selected for the flying branch. Her achievement drew praise from the state’s leaders.

Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, in a tweet, said: “It is a matter of pride for all of us that the daughter of Veerbhoomi #Rajasthan and Flight Lieutenant of Air Force #SwatiRathore will lead the ‘Fly Past’ in the parade on Rajpath on the occasion of Republic Day. I wish her a bright future!”

Former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot said: “My best wishes to Flight Lieutenant Swati Rathore, of the Indian Air Force, 
who will be the first woman to lead the fly past in the Republic Day parade this year. 
By this achievement, she has not only enhanced the pride of the state but has also set a unique example of women empowerment.”

What is the Real Definition of "Quality Education"?

"A good quality education is one that provides all learners with capabilities they require to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies and enhance individual well-being. The learning outcomes that are required vary according to context but at the end of the basic education cycle must include threshold levels of literacy and numeracy, basic scientific knowledge and life skills including awareness and prevention of disease. Capacity development to improve the quality of teachers and other education stakeholders is crucial throughout this process." Six Important D's-Dimensions Of Quality Education I believes that  education leads to  empowerment : a process of strengthening individuals, organisations and communities so they get more control over their own situations and environments. Quality education is a crucial factor in combating poverty and inequality in society. In  quality education , ...

  Factors Defining Rest of Year' Course of Indian Economy The first-quarter GDP growth number — a contraction by 24% — was on expected lines and shows that the Indian economy has slumped sharply due to the lockdown. “Growth for the full year is likely to be in the region of (—) 6.4 per cent, which is premised on a low negative growth number for the first two quarters for certain, possibly a close to positive number in the third quarter, and positive growth in the last quarter,” writes Madan Sabnavis, chief economist of CARE Ratings. But two basic factors would influence the assumptions being made on the growth prospects for the coming quarters. The first is the process of “Unlocking”. It has been observed that with the economy moving from the stage of a total lockdown in April to a gradual opening up of the windows in May and June, and then the door opening up a little more significantly in July and August, the movement from one stage to another did reflect in the macro-economic nu...

What has been their impact on our world? What are their advantages and disadvantages?   Welcome to a Thoughts on Economics Part - 1 Blog where I will try to explain such concepts, topics and things in a simple language, about which we talk frequently, but hardly anyone amongst us has tried to go in-depth to understand their meaning. I would like to start this series with today’s Blog which is on Communism. What are Communism and Communist ideology?

If another person is a little weak, is disabled and cannot work extensively, then he too w...
