The Military Year Book was the first-ever effort by a non-military person to look into aspects of military and compile the information for the benefit of not just the armed forces but the global audience. Year-on-year the Military Yearbook expanded its reach not only in content but distribution too and has been lauded for its efforts by statesmen and former Prime Ministers like Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi and others. The list is endless. |  | SP’S AVIATION TAKES OFF Developing on its core business, Mr. Jayant Baranwal launched SP’s Aviation in 1998, again a first in the Indian media industry.
