Military Police

The country’s premier mountaineering institute, Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM), in association with NGO Youth Foundation Uttarakhand, will be conducting intensive training to help women qualify as jawans in the Army’s Corps of Military Police (CMP).

The move, which helps break gender barriers in the defence forces, will have some women personnel eventually stationed in the conflict-ridden Kashmir Valley to carry out tasks like frisking women.
