Representation of women in CAPFs
With a view to enhance representation of women, the
Union Government has reserved of 33% of posts at Constable Level in Central
Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) for women. This reservation would be horizontal and
will be implemented with immediate effect.
Ø The 33% reservation of
Constable level posts will be in CRPF & CISF.
Ø 14-15% posts at Constable
level will be reserved in border guarding forces i.e. BSF, SSB & ITBP.
The Committee on Empowerment of Women in its Sixth
Report of the (2010-11) had recommended urgent need to provide due
representation to women in paramilitary forces. The CRPF, considered to be
world’s largest paramilitary force mostly deployed in law and order duties and
the anti-Naxal operations, has just around 6,300 women in its rank.
