Our Aviation Division will set up a Flying Club to impart training for commercial pilots, cabin crews and aircraft maintenance support staff. The Centre of Excellence will impart training in Aviation Security as per global standards,” Shri Singh said.

“The conclave’s agenda -- “Securing People” – was also launched today which key areas like improving public safety, emergency response, judicial reforms, providing basic needs like shelter, food, education, and healthcare. It also extends to ensuring the security of vital infrastructure, transportation systems, and critical assets. A G20 Presidium of heads of Private Security Associations of member nations is being constituted to have consultations for the implementation of Bio Security & Cyber Security Threats as its first project. By prioritizing the safety and well-being of individuals, the agenda can enhance economic growth and societal development since it creates a conductive environment that attracts investment and supports social inclusivity.
