The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) launched its first all-women commando unit in Madhya Pradesh, marking a major step towards strengthening gender inclusivity in paramilitary forces. The training for this unit is being conducted at the Regional Training Centre in Barwaha, where 30 women personnel are undergoing an intensive 8-week advanced course. The training modules include physical fitness, advanced weapons handling, live-fire drills, rappelling, and survival techniques. Once trained, these women commandos will be deployed in Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) and Special Task Forces (STFs), enhancing the force’s operational capabilities while promoting women’s empowerment in security services.
