The news has come to the notice of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). In fact, this is the first time that women commandos have been included in the Special COBRA (Commando Battalions for Resolute Action) team of CRPF. After being included in CRPF’s Special Cobra Battalion, now women commandos will also take on the Naxalites.
Mahila personnel of CRPF forming the first all-women brass band will also undergo a training course to acquire the requisite skills on the musical instruments. It deserves pertinent to mention that the force already has an all-women pipe band, ”CRPF said in a press release.
Taking another step towards women empowerment, the 88th Mahila battalion of CRPF has the distinction of being the first all-Mahila battalion in the world.

“The force has a history of empowered women warriors who have not just brought laurels to the force but have also made the country proud by conspicuous gallantry both at home in India and abroad in several UN peacekeeping missions. Gender neutrality adds to the diversity of the force empowered women make an empowered family which eventually empowers the nation, ”Director General CRPF AP Maheshwari said.
“34 women personnel from the 6 Mahila Battalions of CRPF who are joining the COBRA today will undergo a strenuous Cobra pre-induction training of 3 months,” the CRPF added.
The training of these commandos will reinforce their physical capabilities and tactical acumen by imparting next-level training in firing and special weapons, tactical planning, fieldcraft, explosives, and jungle survival skills.
