Rajnath reviews preparedness of Aero India-21, launches mob app of event

New Delhi, Jan 15 (UNI) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday reviewed the preparation for Aero India 21, during the apex committee meeting at Bengaluru.
Aero India 2021 will be organised from February 3- 5. It will be the first Hybrid exhibition, wherein the Business element of the event will happen both physically, as well as virtually.
While emphasising on organising a safe and secure event, Mr Singh said the hybrid model of Aero India-21 should be the template for the world to emulate conduct of Business in the new normal, till the concerns of the pandemic are addressed.
He also launched the Aero India-21 mobile app, which will be the handy interactive interface for all issues related to the event and promised to provide a hassle-free entry to the venue.
The holistic app will be available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, with features to support exhibitors, attendees, and the media – pre, during and post the event.
Aero India-21 is now being held simultaneously as a Physical Exhibition and a Virtual Exhibition with Stalls being provided in both the physical and virtual realms, which will result in greater engagement and the exhibitors will experience a greater outreach, catering to those who could not join the event physically.
The Defence Minister noted that the attendees joining the event virtually could participate in Seminars, interact with the exhibitors and representatives, hold B2B meetings and also view the product details and supporting videos.
The meeting was attended by Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, state Chief Secretary P Ravi Kumar, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, Secretary of the Department of Defence Production Raj Kumar, Air Officer Commanding (AOC) in C Southern Command Air Marshal RK Mathur, GoC in C Southern Command Lt Gen CP Mohanty and other senior officials.
Aero India-21 abides by International norms for conduct of such events and incorporates additional precautions for social distancing and crowd control, wherein the total exhibition area count has been reduced to 15000 PAX and Air Display Visual Area to 3000 PAX.
Safe social behaviour such as compulsory wearing of face mask, non-contact interactions, brochures and literature would be predominantly in digital format.
The event would provide contactless experience for registration and booth visits. It would ensure negative RT-PCR test 72 hours prior to February 3, 2021, while restricting entry of people with symptoms. Entry screening would ensure safety for all attendees.
Mr Singh also highlighted a giant step in self-reliance through the order of 83 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) to HAL valued at over Rs 48000 crore, which will prove a boon to Karnataka in general and Bengaluru in particular, in terms of generation of more than 50,000 jobs with extensive participation of MSMEs and private sector.
