National Security Guard Launches First All-Women Commando Course In Haryana

The National Security Guard (NSG) in Manesar in Haryana's Gurugram district has launched its first Mahila Commando Conversion Course for women personnel from State Police Forces and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), marking a new step in expanding women's participation in specialised counter-terror operations.

The gruelling 12-week course is curated to mould selected women warriors into physically indomitable, technically astute and operationally razor-sharp commandos.

"The course is meticulously designed to forge battle-hardened women commandos through intensive training in physical conditioning, weapons proficiency and marksmanship, tactical intervention, hostage rescue and other specialised domains of counter-terror operations," NSG said in a post on X.

"By extending the NSG's niche counter-terror expertise to women personnel across Forces, we seek to create a larger pool of operationally capable women, foster common professional benchmarks and strengthen interoperability across India's security establishment," the post added.

Upon culmination, these women will return to their parent cadres as force multipliers. On completion, these women commandos will carry enhanced combat skills and operational acumen back to their respective Forces, thereby reinforcing institutional preparedness and ensuring a more dispersed and resilient counter-terror capability across the country.

Describing the initiative as a defining milestone in women's empowerment, the official said the 1st MCCC signifies not just wider participation of women in security duties, but empowerment through sheer operational capability.

"It will prepare women to shoulder the most demanding specialist roles and contribute decisively to the evolving contours of internal security. Truly - She Who Dares, Leads," exclaimed the NSG post on X.
