Aanchal Gangwal who is the daughter of a tea seller Tops IAF Academy and Receives President’s Plaque.
Her father watched his daughter, a flying officer, in uniform on TV, bagging the President’s plaque at the combined graduation parade at the Hyderabad Air Force Academy. Aanchal comes from a middle-class background. Her father Suresh Gangwal owns a small tea stall in the Neemuch district of Madhya Pradesh.
Aanchal Said that “I used to dream of this day almost every night. To stand in my uniform, in front of my father and mother, who have fought all the difficulties in their lives to get me here. However, due to Covid-19 that could not happen,”
Two years ago, Aanchal Gangwal made it into a flying branch of the Air Force. She was the only candidate to pass the admission test that year.
Flying Officer Aanchal Gangwal was approved as an officer on June 20 in the appearance of IAF Chief BKS Bhadauria. Aanchal is a computer science graduate from a government college in Neemuch.

This year, the newly commissioned officers would be continuing straight to shoulder their duties instead of going home for a break.
