DGCA’s initiative is poised to break through embedded patriarchal mindsets, contributing to a positive cultural shift within the aviation sector: PHD Chamber
The strides made in the past few decades, particularly with India boasting the highest percentage of women pilots globally at 15%, showcase the progress achieved. However, it is evident that there is still much work to be done to bridge existing gaps and encourage a greater influx of women into the industry.
In our ever-evolving world, it is crucial to inspire more women to pursue careers in aviation. The commitment by DGCA to prioritize gender inclusivity in the Indian aviation sector is a welcome and significant step. This initiative serves as a testament to the importance of uniting the efforts of both the government and private sectors to foster an environment that reduces the gender gap.
As India ascends as a major global aviation market, the need of the hour is to ensure a level playing field and provide robust support through education and training for aspiring individuals in the industry. The anticipated growth in the aviation sector in India presents an increased opportunity for women to choose aviation as a promising and rewarding career path.
Moreover, “the DGCA’s initiative is poised to break through embedded patriarchal mindsets, contributing to a positive cultural shift within the aviation sector” according to PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Recognizing that such cultural changes are vital for the long-term sustainability of the industry, we applaud DGCA’s commitment to fostering an environment that is inclusive and diverse.
At PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we firmly believe in the power of diverse and inclusive workplaces, understanding that they drive innovation, excellence, and long-term success. We stand wholeheartedly in support of DGCA’s efforts and welcome the positive change being ushered into the Indian aviation sector.
Together, let us continue working towards an aviation industry that is not only successful but also reflective of the diverse talents and capabilities of both men and women.
