Pune,15th January,2025

 

The Agniveer Women Marching Contingent will participate in the Army Day Parade 2025 at Pune on 15th January 2025, furthering the remarkable journey of women in the Indian Army. This marks another significant milestone following their participation in the All-Women Tri-Services Marching Contingent at the Republic Day Parade 2024.

The inclusion of women in the Corps of Military Police (CMP) in 2019 was a historic achievement for the Indian Army. Since then, Women Military Police have consistently excelled, not only in their military roles but also in national and international sports events, bringing immense pride and honour to the Armed Forces. Aligned with the theme of "Naari Shakti," the Agniveer Women Marching Contingent will take center stage at the Army Day Parade 2025, showcasing the strength, discipline, and dedication of Women Military Police. The contingent, under the able command of Capt Sandhya Rao H, exemplifies the leadership and commitment of women in the Indian Army.

The participation of the Agniveer Women Marching Contingent is a testament to the Indian Army's ongoing efforts to promote gender equality and empower women within its ranks, strengthening the force and reflecting the nation's growing commitment to recognising the capabilities of women in every sphere of national service.
