Some Lesser Known Facts About Vyomika Singh
Vyomika Singh was born in a middle-class civilian family, and no one in her family has ever worked in the Indian Armed Forces.
She was once discussing the meaning of their names in class 6th when someone shouted from the back of the classroom that she owned the sky as ‘Vyom’ means ‘sky.’
Her teacher also confirmed this and joked that she will own the sky one day. But she was inspired by the moment and decided to become a pilot in the Indian Air Force (IAF).
She later read the Employment Newspaper, in which the IAF only allowed ‘unmarried males’ to apply for the pilot post.
She later learned that she could become a pilot through the UPSC (SSC—Short Service Commission) exam, so she applied and was selected for the Indian Air Force in 2004.
