An extremely stringent process has gone into the selection of the training team of this new occupational speciality. “The first batch is the most important to us as it will lay down the foundation for generations to come!”
The decision to induct women into the military police was made earlier this year. In January, when the erstwhile defence minister announced, that the government has taken a “historic” decision, to enhance female representation in the services. Women will be inducted in a phased manner, with the intent of comprising around 20% of the entire corps.
