In an inspiring display of strength and empowerment, the Republic Day parade in India this year is poised to create a historic moment. On January 26, 2024, Major Srishti Khullar will be at the helm of an exclusively female contingent from the Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS), representing a groundbreaking moment in the annals of the Indian armed forces.
This significant occasion will unfold along the esteemed Kartavya Path, heralding a new chapter in women’s involvement in the national defense forces.
Major Srishti Khullar, who is both a paratrooper and an eye surgeon, exemplifies a remarkable blend of adaptability and commitment. In a recent interview, she discussed her extraordinary journey from the meticulous world of an operation theatre to the splendor of leading a contingent in the Republic Day parade.
“Transitioning from the fine focus required in surgery to handling a sword at Kartavya Path has been both challenging and immensely fulfilling. I feel extremely joyful and thankful for this experience,” said Khullar, reflecting on her diverse career path.
