Chandigarh now has the First of its kind, the state-of-the-art Indian Air Force Heritage Centre.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the Indian Air Force (IAF) Heritage Centre here on Monday. The Union Territory of Chandigarh and the IAF had signed an MOU last year to construct an IAF Heritage Centre in sector 18 of the city. Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Banwarilal Purohit, Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari and Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher were present on the occasion. Earlier, the IAF chief visited the Indian Air Force Heritage Centre last month to review its progress.
Spread over 17,000 square feet, this is the first heritage centre of the IAF and depicts its role in various wars, including in 1965, 1971 and the Kargil war, and the Balakot air strike through murals and memorabilia.
It will be a source of inspiration for future generations and will showcase the indomitable spirit of the Indian Air Force, officials said.
