The Navy earlier this year also deployed four women officers on warships for the first time after a gap of 23 years. But the IAF now has 12 women fighter pilots.

The eight new branches for women officers to get PC are Army Air Defence, Signals, Engineers, Army Aviation, EME, Army Service Corps (ASC), Army Ordnance Corps and Intelligence Corps. Combined with the decision to grant PC to women officers from a majority of branches of the Army, this step defines the Army's approach towards a gender-neutral force,” said the Army on Monday. “The widening of promotion avenues to more branches of the Army is a sign of increasing career opportunities for women officers. Till now, women officers could reach the rank of Colonel only in the medical, legal and education streams. Women officers, excluding the medical stream, number just about 1,650 in the 43,000-strong officer cadre in the Army.

The Supreme Court had last week also allowed women to take the exam for the tri-Service National Defence Academy this year, in yet another order to ensure gender equality in the male-dominated environs of the armed forces. Consequently, the Army has till now granted PC to 424 of the 615 short-service commission (SSC) women officers (who can only serve for a maximum of 14 years) eligible for it.
