In a first, Indian Army invites women to apply for military police posts

Inducting women in combat roles came up in 2015 after Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the government has taken a "historic" decision to induct women in the Military Police with an aim to enhance their representation in the three services.

The armed forces are also in the process of identifying issues that could be faced in inducting women in combat roles and opening more avenues for them. According to government data, the Army has 3.80 per cent of its workforce as women, the Air Force has 13.09 per cent and the Navy six per cent.
