Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will attend a graduation ceremony for flight cadets at the Air Force Academy in Dundigal on December 17. The ceremony will mark the completion of their training. During the event, the minister will present the ‘President’s Commission’ to the graduating trainees. This includes giving them their ‘wings’ and ‘brevets’.
