New Delhi | President Droupadi Murmu on Monday said women are playing a key role in various operational and technical areas in the country's civil aviation sector.

Interacting with a group of women achievers in the Indian aviation sector at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here, she emphasised that along with increasing the participation of women in the aviation industry, equal opportunities moving forward in this field are also necessary, an official statement said.

Murmu said apart from education and proper training, the support of family members is also important, it said.
