Wednesday was a historic moment in the 181-year-old history of the Assam Rifles. One hundred women soldiers were welcomed into the force during the passing out parade at the Assam Rifles Training Centre and School in Shokhuvi. These recruits were selected from all over India, and finished their year-long training along with 112 male soldiers. They were inducted in the presence of Union minister of state for home affairs Kiren Rijiju yesterday.
“I am so proud that our nation is moving forward in accepting the fact that women can do the same job that men can do,” said Major Joshi, the officer in-charge of the first batch of women recruits.
These women soldiers will join various battalions in the force, and will search, frisk, and interrogate women, handle female mobs/agitators, be part of mobile check posts, relief and rescue teams during communal clashes and natural calamities, etc.
