Hi Meenu,
Aviation refers to all activities involving the operation of aircrafts. Aviation courses in India deal with Flying Operation (Pilots), Aircrew (Air Hostesses), Aircraft, Air Traffic Management, Technical aspects of Flight, Aviation Safety, Regulatory Policies and economics of airport. Civil Aviation courses (as opposed to the Indian Air Force, that is, the air wing of the Indian armed forces) are necessary for those wishing to work in government or regulatory bodies of aviation or those planning to work as aviation consultants.
All aviation courses in India are supposed to comply with the rules laid down by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). I am sending you link of institutes offering various courses in Aviation.
