Source: HT: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day speech on Wednesday women officers in Indian armed forces will have an option for a permanent commission like their male counterparts. “I want to give good news to our brave daughters. Women officers who have been selected through the short service commission in our defence forces will get the opportunity for a permanent commission,” Modi said in his speech from the Red Fort. The Prime Minister said this would be done through a transparent selection process. It wasn’t immediately clear as to what additional streams or avenues would be opened to women officers. Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman thanked Modi on Twitter for the announcement. The announcement comes after the Centre told the Supreme Court in April it was considering granting permanent commission to short service commission women army officers, a move that could bring an end to an eight-year-old battle in the top court and which will make the army the last of India’s armed forces to do so. The Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy already do this. How To Prepare for SSB Interview:
The government’s position in the court was a climbdown from its earlier one. It appealed in the top court after the Delhi High Court in March 2010 ordered it to give women army officers on short service commission a permanent commission.
Indian Army Officers
It told the Supreme Court in May that the armed forces have embarked on proposing a series of measures to usher a more “liberal regime” to grant permanent commission to women officers and open new streams of induction for them. In an affidavit filed in the top court, the ministry of defence said it requires six months to formulate modalities and enforce the changes and alterations in the three forces.
Officers serve the military for a period of five years under the short service commission, which can be extended to 10 and then 14 years. They have three options at the end of three years when they choose the permanent commission, opt for a four-year extension or opt out. Permanent commission allows them to serve till the age of retirement.
The army allows the permanent commission to women officers in two branches — judge advocate general (JAG) and education. The air force and the navy, too, grant permanent commission to women officers but only in selective streams.
The result of AFCAT 2 2018 is published by the official website of AFCAT on 7th Sep 2018. Aspirants who have attended the AFCAT 2 2018 exam on 18th and 19th Aug 2018 at various online exam centers except for Kerala, can check their AFCAT result now. AFCAT 2 2018 exam was canceled for the Kerala region due to heavy rainfall and flood. Now the Indian Airforce has published the date of the AFCAT supplementary exam for Kerala centers. Prepare for your AFSB Interview with best books
Official Statement:AFCAT 02/2018 Supplementary Exam for the candidates of Kerala Region (where the exam was cancelled due to heavy rain and flood) is scheduled on 22nd & 23rd Sept 2018. Admit cards will be issued soon to the candidates concerned.
Dear candidates, the results for AFCAT 02/18 were declared on 07 Sep 18, however the individual marks and cutoff was not shared.

OLD: CDAC is going to conduct the 1st phase of AFCAT 2 2018 exam on 18th August 2018, Saturday and the 2nd phase for EKT on 19th August 2018. We are getting many emails from candidates who were allotted with the AFCAT center in Kerala, they want to know about the condition of their AFCAT exam centers at Kerala after the heavy flood and what are the chances of conducting or postponing the AFCAT 2 2018 exam in Kerala.
As per the official SMS, the AFCAT 2 2018 in Kerala is canceled on 18th and19th Aug 2018.
AFCAT is conducted online at various exam centers across the country, the exam is online based which needs proper computers with good internet/intranet connectivity to the CDAC servers, looking at the present condition in Kerala due to heavy flood, the chances of conducting an exam like AFCAT would be really difficult, though there is no official confirmation from the authority on the same. There are few major AFCAT exam centers in Kerala like Kochi and Kannur, both the area are affected by the recent flood.
The flood in Kerala has affected many schools and examinations:
District Collector Amit Meena declared a holiday for all educational institutions in Malappuram, including professional colleges, on Thursday.
In Ernakulam too, a holiday has been declared for all educational institutions including professional colleges on August 16 and 17.
Thiruvananthapuram District Collector has declared holiday for all educational institutions, including professional colleges, in the district on Thursday.
Thrissur District Collector has declared holiday for all educational institutions, including professional colleges, on Thursday.

All examinations of the University of Kerala scheduled for August 16 and 17 have been postponed. New date will be announced later.
An exam like AFCAT will surely need a lot of preparation to conduct it on 18th and 19th in flood-affected areas in Kerala, still, we will wait for the official statement from AFCAT cell and CDAC regarding the same. All the best for AFCAT.

The Ministry has instructed the three services to issue suitable identity cards to the JCOs immediately in the order, the subject of which reads: “Issue of blue Securitised Laminated Identity Cards (SLIC) to JCOs and the equivalent officer having been accorded gazetted officer status by an Act of Parliament.”
“There exists no ambiguity at all in the status of JCOs/equivalent being Gazetted officers. As the letter referred at Para 1(d) stands withdrawn vide letter at Para 1 (e) above, thereby resolving the ambiguity, blue coloured SLICs may be issued immediately to JCO/equivalent in the three services,” the Headquarters of Integrated Defence Staff said in an order dated August 1, 2018.
Reversal of order
This is a reversal of an order issued in mid-June in which Defence Ministry observed that there was no case for accepting JCOs as Gazetted officers. In the case for grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (NPLB) to JCOs and equivalent, the Defence Ministry observed in an order dated June 14, “The matter has been examined in consultation with CAO division. It has also been seen that the CAO division has, with the approval of Defence Secretary, not agreed to the contention that JCOs are Gazetted officers and should be issued blue SLICs.” Due to this, the order stated that there does not appear to be enough justification to reconsider grant of NPLB to JCO and equivalent.
In November 2017, a cordon & search operation was launched in Algar village, South kashmir in Jammu and Kashmir on input of presence of three terrorists. Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh was deployed in inner cordon as part of Combat Action Team under Captain Kaninder Paul Singh. How To Prepare for SSB Interview:
On positive identification of complex of target houses, and having readjusted the cordon, a search team including Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh was formulated. Considering his tactical & professional excellence he was made part of entry team. Having cleared two houses Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh alongwith his buddy moved ahead to clear the adjacent cowshed. Upon entering the completely dark cowshed as Entryman Number 1, he came under heavy effective fire from the cowshed from three different directions. Unmindful of his personal safety, he retaliated immediately. All three terrorists started aimed firing at Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh in a bid to overpower him. In a single handed gallant action displayed by Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh, he provided cover fire and afforded opportunity to his buddy Rifleman Aurangzab to extricate himself not only out of cowshed, but also kept the three terrorists engaged thus prevented their escape out of cowshed. This also resulted in gaining of time to readjust the cordon by Captain Kaninder Paul Singh. In the ensuing firefight, he sustained bullet injuries on his chest and legs. Despite being grievously wounded and numerically overwhelmed by terrorists Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh continued dominating and engaging the terrorists, which led to neutralization of one terrorist and injuring of another.
Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh in the highest traditions of Army, made supreme sacrifice for the nation. For displaying heroic action, indomitable spirit, exceptional bravery, camaraderie, espirit-decorps, leading to saving the life of his buddy and neutralization of two hardcore terrorists of Pakistan and injuring of another terrorist by making supreme sacrifice for the nation in line with highest traditions of Indian Army, Sepoy Vrahma Pal Singh has been awarded „KIRTI CHAKRA (POSTHUMOUS)‟.
