The parade was commanded by a woman for the first time on Army Day, the family has been in the army for four generations

celebrations were celebrated today at the Army Parade Ground in Delhi Cantt, but this time the special thing was that the command of the Army Day Parade was handed over to a woman officer for the first time. Tanya Shergill led the parade held at the Cariappa Parade Ground in Delhi Cantonment on 72nd Army Day.

Tanya Shergill will also lead an army contingent in the Republic Day parade held at Rajpath. This time on Republic Day our chief guest is President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

Let us know that the post of parade adjutant in defense is very important for women. According to the data released in December 2018, less than 4 percent of women are employed in the Indian Army, also in the role of assistants only. Let me tell you that last year Captain Bhavna Kasturi led the male battalion on Republic Day.

In September last year, the Indian Army announced that it is going to enter women in eight more branches soon. In this sequence, training is being given to the first batch of women military police for 2021.
