What’s the Procedure and Cost for Obtaining a Glider Pilot License in India?

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in taking up gliding as a hobby (and perhaps more) and would like some guidance on obtaining a glider pilot license in India. Could someone outline the process involved? For example:

What are the prerequisites (age, educational qualifications, medical requirements)?

What does the training involve (number of flying hours, types of certificates)

Which authorities or flying clubs should one approach?

And, what are the approximate costs from training through to license issuance?

Thanks in advance for your help!
