NDA will admit women: govt

Govt had taken a decision to allow women entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA), so far a male bastion for recruitment into the armed forces

SC judgement

In February 2020, the court upheld permanent commission for women officers.
It dismissed the government’s submissions that women were physiologically weaker than men as a “sex stereotype”.
It declared that Short Service Commission (SSC) women officers were eligible for permanent commission and command posts in the Army irrespective of their years of service.
Women officers of the Indian Army have brought laurels to the force… Their track record of service to the nation is beyond reproach
