indian military police women

(PTI) The Army has finalised a plan to induct women in the military police, seen as a major move towards breaking gender barriers in the force. Adjutant General of the Army Lt. Gen. Ashwani Kumar said on Friday it planned to induct about 800 women in the military police with a yearly intake of 52 personnel. Another senior official, who did not wish to be named, said some of the women personnel would be gradually stationed in the conflict-torn Kashmir Valley to carry out various kinds of tasks such as frisking of women.

Women Can Join Indian Army Military Police Now

The Adjutant General said the decision to induct women in the Corps of the Military Police was taken keeping in view the “increasing needs for investigation against gender-specific allegations and crime”. The announcement — also being seen as a step towards the eventual opening up of doors to women in combat roles — came a day after Nirmala Sitharaman took over as the country’s first full-time woman defence minister

The decision was conveyed to former Army chiefs on Friday by incumbent Gen. Bipin Rawat at the biennial Chiefs’ Conclave where they were also apprised of the overall security challenges facing the country, including on the borders with China and Pakistan

“We have finalised the proposal of inducting women in the military police,” Kumar told reporters here. In an interview to PTI in June, Gen Rawat had said the Army was looking at inducting women jawans and the process would start with the induction of women into the military police corps

Currently, women are allowed in select areas such as the medical, legal, educational, signals and engineering wings of the Army

The role of the military police includes policing cantonments and army establishments, preventing breach of rules and regulations by soldiers, maintaining movement of soldiers as well as logistics during peace and war, handling prisoners of war and extending aid to civil police whenever required.

Current Affairs questions will be from last 5-7 months (for AFCAT, NDA, CDS, TA)

The process of induction is likely to start next year

About their proposed deployment in Kashmir, the senior official said women military personnel would assist in tasks such as frisking women, currently being carried out by women constables of the Jammu and Kashmir Police

“At present, whenever we have to frisk women, we take the help of local women police personnel,” Kumar said

However, it will be done is a phased manner and will be started with their deployment in peace stations, and then in conflict-prone areas

The Indian Army is yet to open doors for combat role for women. Very few countries have allowed women in combat roles

The exceptions include Germany, Australia, Canada, the US, Britain, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Sweden and Israel

Kumar also informed the Chiefs Conclave about approval given to a cadre review proposal, which is expected to benefit approximately 1.45 lakh Junior Commissioned Officers/Other Ranks (JCO/OR)

The upgradation is to take place over a span of five years and will endow higher career progressions of JCO/OR. The last cadre review was done in 1984, benefiting 22,000 JCOs/OR

Kumar also told the Chiefs Conclave that the Defence ministry had agreed to start residential Army Public Schools in Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh and Mamun in Punjab with a capacity of 2000 children each. This, he said, would cater to the growing needs of children of Army personnel of all ranks

As of now, the Army Welfare Educational Society (AWES) manages 137 schools and 11 professional colleges across the country.

 

Indian Navy UES Campus Interview Experience

NAVY UES CAMPUS INTERVIEW

5th September 2017. Today, I had the good fortune to attend the campus interview for UES NAVY JUNE 2018 course. Having been shortlisted as per cut off marks, we were called for RCCIIT College here in Kolkata and were told to report at 8.30 am.

I reached there on time and saw that there were a good number of candidates already present beforehand. We completed a number of formalities related to documentation and then proceeded to the Institute Auditorium for initial presentations.

There were 3 officers from the Eastern Naval Command who had come to assess us. The presiding officer was Captain Rahman, and accompanying him were Lt. Cmdr. Juneja and Lt. Cmdr. Das. All the officers were in the white navy uniforms and the uniforms were already inspiring an aura of awe and admiration from the crowd of aspirants there.

Soon, introductions were made and Captain Rahman addressed us. He gave it to us straight and kept his words to the point and concise. He informed us of the hardships, duties, and responsibilities that are part and parcel of the naval lifestyle. Afterwards, the session was opened to the audience as part of a Q&A interaction.

NAVY UES CAMPUS INTERVIEW
From the old days at 22 SSB Bhopal in 2014 while we were undergoing medicals for NDA 2 2013

Many candidates had their doubts cleared about the job profiles in the Indian Navy. Some of them asked relevant questions related to the current international socio-political sphere such as Indo-Pak and Indo-China relations. Regimentation in the navy and pays and perks of being a naval officer were also discussed at length.

At the end of this event, Captain Rahman explicitly made it clear that the interview process would be flexible and general awareness and personality would be given higher weightage than technical know-how in today’s proceedings. He explained that since we were all shortlisted based on recent semester marks of B. Tech that was enough as per his judgment to justify our technical qualifications. Rather, he felt that it was much more important to judge the personality and mettle of our character so as to render us suitable for the armed forces.

I was in group 1 and we were sent off to a conference room and seated in a semi-circular fashion around a table with Lt. Cmdr. Das sitting at the head. We were instructed to submit our application forms in an orderly fashion and passed it on to the first candidate forming a stack. He asked us to introduce ourselves one by one and speak for a couple of minutes. I was the last one to speak. My short interaction with the officer went as follows:

Me: “Good morning, ladies and gentleman. I am Mrinal. I am a CSE 4th year engineering-in-training from NSEC here in Kolkata. I belong to Bihar but, my father is posted at Deoghar in Jharkhand. I did my schooling from DAV School in Bhagalpur, Bihar and have been quite good with academics since early on. I am the youngest of three siblings. I have a keen interest in public speaking and identify as an orator/debater. (Here, the officer cross examined me regarding my public speaking credentials. I mentioned the events I had won accolades in and he asked me to continue).

Current Affairs questions will be from last 5-7 months (for AFCAT, NDA, CDS, TA)

I have played Badminton at school level but I also enjoy long distance running. (Again, the officer grilled me on my running. He asked me about my longest run (9.81km) and told me to rate myself as a runner (above average). I was asked my current pace (6 minutes per km) and further questioned on how I would perfect my pace to a little under 4 mins per km. I answered that due to additional study load in the last semester and CAT coaching, I have struggled to maintain my fitness and with a better degree of regularity, it won’t be a problem to match my pace to academy standards.) He was satisfied and did not question me further.

Then, we had a short GD on Demonetization which I took the initiative to introduce and tried to set the tone of the discussion. But soon, other group members in an attempt to overtake each other turned it into a frenzied banter. I tried to intervene but soon realized that it was futile and kept quiet. I felt the officer’s gaze in my peripheral vision and saw him smile. But I refrained from looking at him directly and tried my best to not make eye contact during the GD.

Instead, I made an effort towards listening to some of the points which were audible amidst the noise. Within another 45 seconds, the GD was called off the officer and we were thanked and asked to leave.

That was my UES NAVY campus interview. I feel that I did my best. The fish market frenzy during the GD was definitely a sore regret for me and other members of the group. But it was what it was.

Here’s to hoping that some of us qualify and get the call-up for SSB. Cheers!

9 Indian Special Forces Every Indian Should Be Proud Of

INDIAN SPECIAL FORCES

Being a part of the Indian Special Forces is an exceptional achievement in itself. An adventure for a lifetime and you feel it that you are better than most of the men of your age who are walking around the world. Special Forces soldiers are trained for unconventional warfare, the only unit in the military specifically designed to fight the type of counter-insurgency operations that is the need of the day. While India is ranked as the 7th largest country in the world and is consistently racked and bothered by its difficult neighbours, it definitely is a Herculean task to safeguard the entire country. But we Indians don’t know to surrender or get knocked down, thanks to the elite Special Forces of our country that protects us from the terrorists and insurgent attacks.

 

Here are 9 Indian Special Forces which are lesser known and every Indian should be proud of.

  1.  MARCOS: MARCOS (Marine Commandos), is a special forces unit that was established by the Indian Navy in 1987 for direct action, special reconnaissance, amphibious warfare and counter-terrorism. The training of the MARCOS is probably the most stringent in the world with the commandos being tested for physical and mental toughness. In the past, it was referred to as M.C.F or ‘Marine Commando Force’. They are called as the “Dadiwala fauj”, meaning the “bearded army” by terrorists because of their bearded disguise in civil areas, MARCOS are capable of operations in all types of terrain but specialise essentially in maritime operations.Image result for marcos indian
  2. Para Commandos: It was created in 1966, the Para Commandos are part of the highly-trained Parachute Regiment of the Indian Army and are the largest part of the Special Forces of India. The parachute units of the Indian Army are among the oldest airborne units in the world. The main aim of a Parachute Regiment is the quick deployment of soldiers behind enemy lines to attack the enemy from behind and destroy their first line of defence. The Para Commandos played a crucial role in helping India claim the peak of Tiger Hill across the Indus River from the Pakistanis during the 1999 Kargil War.

  3. Ghatak Force: As the name suggests, Ghatak (which means ‘killer’ in Hindi), this infantry platoon goes for the kill and spearheads strikes ahead of a battalion. Every infantry battalion in the Indian Army has one platoon and only the most physically fit and motivated soldiers make it to the Ghatak Platoon. The Ghatak soldiers are well-trained, superiorly-armed and equipped to manage situations like terror strikes, hostage situations and counter insurgency operations.

  4. COBRA: COBRA (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action) is a specialised unit of the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) that was formed to counter Naxalism in India. It is one of the few Indian special forces that is exclusively trained in guerrilla warfare. Since its commencement in 2008, it has successfully wiped out a number of Naxalite groups from India. Set up with a grant of Rs 13,000 million, it is one of the best-equipped paramilitary forces in India.

  5. Force One: Force One came into being in the year 2010 after the deadly and gruesome 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. The prime role of this special elite force is to protect the city of Mumbai from terrorist strikes and aggressions. This force boasts of the fastest response time in the world and responds to a terror strike in less than 15 minutes. Respect!

  6. Special Frontier Force: It was established in the aftermath of the 1962 Sino-Indian war as a special force for secret operations behind Chinese lines in the case of another war with China, it was never really used for its intended purpose and has mainly served as an elite special operations and counter-insurgency force. This covert para military special force operates under India’s external intelligence agency RAW and reports directly to the Prime Minister via the Directorate General of Security in the Cabinet Secretariat. It is so classified and anonymous that even the army may not know what it is up to.
    Image result for Special Frontier Force
  7. National Security Guard: The National Security Guard is India’s premier counter-terrorist force. The NSG provides security to VIPs, conducts anti-sabotage checks, and is responsible for neutralising terrorist threats to vital installations. The selection process of NSG is itself so demanding that it has a dropout rate of around 70–80 percent. The 7500 personnel strong NSG is evenly divided between the Special Action Group (SAG) and the Special Rangers Group (SRG).
    Image result for NSG
  8. Garud Commando Force: The Garud Commando Force is the special forces unit of the Indian Air Force that was formed in 2004. The training for being a Garud is the longest among all the Indian Special Forces. The total duration of training before a cadet can qualify as a fully operational Garud is around 3 years. It is the youngest special force of the services and is entrusted with the duty of protecting critical Air Force bases, carrying out rescue operation during calamities and other missions in support of air operations.

  9. The Special Protection Group: The Special Protection Group is a security force of the Government of India which is responsible for the proximate security and protection of the Prime Minister of India, the former Prime Ministers and members of their immediate family.Their task is to gather intelligence, assess threats and provide protection. Their track record has been excellent after the Rajiv Gandhi assassination and no attacks have been carried out on any Prime Minister ever since.

Meet Capt. P Raghu Raman, Founding CEO of NATGRID

By

Captain_Raghu_Raman

When he was in the Indian Army, Capt. P Raghu Raman wrote what he calls a “paper”, which one of his senior-most officers happened to read. Captain Raman, now the Group President of Reliance Industries Limited, concluded in his paper that the Indian Armed Forces adopted a farcical mix of the Nato and Warsaw doctrines; while the former alignment, equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, would not “cede an inch”, the low-cost-arms-using Warsaw line-up let enemy forces advance until the time was ripe for them to strike back. Raman wrote that India followed the Nato policy with cheap “Warsaw equipment”.

After reading this paper, the senior officer told his ward jokingly, “Anyone who writes like this is destined to either be a general or be court-martialed.”
For someone who can weave out detail after detail about “lessons” from the Second World War, other battles and even hostage crisis, such as the one in Russia’s Beslan, much like a war historian, the army was perhaps not the right place to hang out for long. Capt. P Raghu Raman, who joined the Indian Military Academy in 1986 after graduating in commerce from Sri Venkateshwara College, Delhi, was destined to be elsewhere– he quit as captain in 1998 to pursue other interests.

He has possibly one of the most unprecedented career profiles of over 25 years. After spending eleven years as an officer in the Indian Armed Forces, followed by another eleven years in the corporate sector before joining the Government as CEO of the National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID). The National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID) is the integrated intelligence grid connecting databases of core security agencies of the Government of India to collect comprehensive patterns of intelligence that can be promptly accessed by intelligence agencies. It was first proposed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Mumbai in 2008.

He started his career with the Indian Army. During his service to the army, he was in active combat in Punjab battling terrorists and in Siachen Glacier facing Pakistani troops. He has served as a UN Peacekeeper, as well as been an instructor teaching leadership and strategy to officers at the prestigious School of Armoured Warfare.

Natgrid CEO P Raghu Raman

After leaving the Indian Army, Captain Raman joined the Mahindra Group in 1998 and helped set up Mahindra United World College. Over the next ten years, he led several companies, including First Choice, Mahindra SSG and finally DLSI, a Mahindra joint venture with British Aerospace before being handpicked to form and head the National Intelligence Grid, Ministry of Home Affairs in the Government of India. After his five year stint as the founding CEO and Secretary of NATGRID, he joined Reliance Industries Limited as Group President, Risk, Security & New Ventures.

Capt. Raman is a Distinguished Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, a frequent guest faculty in business schools, keynote speaker and columnist on National Security Strategy and Leadership in leading publications. He is often seen doing powerful talks at the coveted Tedx Talks. He has also authored a book “Everyman’s War”.

Here are a few videos of Capt. P Raghu Raman, delivering excellence to the youth of India.

The Centre in June this year told the Delhi High Court that women can join and serve in Territorial Army in its railway engineering regiments and will also be considered for honorary commissions. The government’s submission came in response to a PIL seeking recruitment of women in TA.

Territorial Army is second line of defence after regular army that receives military training and renders its services to the nation at the time of emergency.

TA WRITTEN EXAM 2017 RESULT

Indian army has published the territorial army written exam which was conducted on 30 Jul 2017 across the country. Around thousands of aspirants applied for the TA exam and only 36 candidates were able to clear the TA PIB written exam 2017. This raises many questions to the difficulty level set in the territorial army exam which has an individual sectional cut off and an overall cut off. A first look, the questions asked in TA exam is not so easy and the time limit given for the same is also not sufficient, on the top of that the sectional cut off for 4 different parts make it difficult for one to crack this exam with easy. 

We congratulate all the successful candidates for the PIB -Preliminary Interview Board. Dates for the interview will be intimated by the TA Gp HQ directly to the candidates separately.
