Squadron Leader Manisha Padhi appointed as Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the Governor of Mizoram
Squadron Leader Manisha is India's first woman Indian Armed Forces officer to be appointed as Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the Governor of the country.
The formal event occurred on November 29 at Raj Bhawan in Aizawl, where Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati granted the honorary title to Squadron Leader Padhi. Squadron Leader Padhi, who had previously served at Air Force bases in Bidar, Pune, and Bhatinda, assumed her new position and reported to the Governor as part of the official ceremony.
The term 'Aide-de-Camp' denotes an officer in the military who aids a superior officer. In India, being an Aide-de-Camp is an honorary position, and individuals in or retired from this role use the post-nominal letters ADC. Normally, service chiefs, such as those in the Army, Navy, and Air Staff, have three aides-de-camp.
The President, on the other hand, has five, consisting of three from the Army and one each from the Navy and the Air Force.
