Army Chief General M M Naravane emphasised the importance of allowing women to participate in all aspects of Indian society, including the corporate sector and the Army.
He said, “We will also be having the first batch of women combat pilots graduating later this year, he said at an event of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI).”
The Army chief stated, “antiquated norms that restrict equal treatment to men and women are no longer acceptable in Indian culture.”
“We need to open all vistas for women in the Indian society be it corporate sector or the Army,” he stated.
He added, “Women officers have been serving the Indian Army for a long time and we have given them multiple assignments, giving them exposure to various fields.”
Naravane said, “women officers will also serve in command roles once their turn comes.”
He added, “Quality is gender-neutral, there are only two types of officers good officers and bad officers.”
