A soldier’s ‘eve-olution’

Deccan Chronicle  

The Supreme Court’s judgment making women officers from the short service commission eligible for permanent commission and holding of command in non-combat heralds a new era in gender equality in the male-dominated Indian Army. These postings usually went to male officers and COs would also give more marks to male officers compared to women officers thinking that men will need them during their boards,” said an officer. He said that many women officers also did not go for junior commands that their male counterparts go for after 6-7 years of service and which is important to get promotions. The Supreme Court, in its order, said “the engagement of women officers in the Army has been an evolutionary process”.
