Its very inspiring to see these women enter the naval observation squadron. Its a first for the Indian naval crew but not only that but it sets an example for all naval observation crews.
Thanks for sharing this inspiring story
Three cheers to the first Indian women who have been appointed as the Electronic Warfare Sensor Officers! They have proved that women are also capable of doing what was all this time the job of their counterparts! I am sure this will inspire many young girls to come forward and join our services and will be prepared to take up the challenge before them!!
