MARGAO: The Indian Air Force is putting in all efforts to make the recruitment rally organised specially for Goans (male youth only) a huge success.
For the first time, such a rally will be organised. With less than 1% Goans in all the forces put together, the IAF has taken up the task to prove that Goans are not lagging behind in serving the nation.

The rally will be held at the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium Taleigao for non-science students on August 27 and for science students on August 29. Entries on both the days will start at 6 am and end at 10 am. The Std XII Science students and non-science students with total 50% aggregate marks and 50% marks in English will get clearance. Candidates born between July 19, 1999 and July 1, 2003 have been requested to carry with them original Std X and Std XII certificates, along with 4 xerox copies and 7 passport size photos. “We have come to your door step and now you open your doors and welcome us,” Fernando added.
