Territorial Army: The Indian Army is now preparing to take a significant step to increase the number of women in the Territorial Army. For the first time, the recruitment of a female cadre is being actively considered. This initiative will begin as a pilot project, initially involving women in only select battalions. Let's find out what the Territorial Army is all about.

Preparations for the Recruitment of Women in the Territorial Army
The Indian Army is working on a plan to induct a female cadre into Territorial Army battalions. This process will begin as a pilot project, with women being recruited in a limited number of battalions. According to sources, this may be expanded in the future based on feedback received in this initial phase.

The government has long been striving to strengthen the role of women in the armed forces. In March 2022, Minister of State for Defense Ajay Bhatt informed Parliament that the policy to increase women's participation is being continuously reviewed and refined.

What is the Territorial Army?

The Territorial Army is a voluntary service in which civilians can contribute to the nation's defense while continuing their jobs or businesses. This is an opportunity for young people who, for some reason, are unable to join the regular army. Training is provided, and the army utilizes their services when needed. However, this is not a regular job and does not guarantee permanent employment. The Territorial Army has been part of many important operations and plays a vital role in restoring essential services during natural disasters.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni Joins the Territorial Army
Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also associated with the Territorial Army. He has been awarded the rank of Honorary Lieutenant Colonel by the Army. This honor was bestowed on him in recognition of his contributions to the nation and outstanding achievements.
