Squadron Leader Manisha Padhi of the Indian Air Force (2015 batch) has created history by becoming India's first female Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to a state Governor. She was formally appointed to assist Mizoram Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati in November 2024. This landmark achievement marks a significant step toward gender inclusivity in India's armed forces, breaking traditional barriers in ceremonial military roles. Previously posted at Air Force stations in Bidar, Pune, and Bhatinda, her appointment highlights the growing recognition of women officers in high-profile defence and governance positions.
