Women’s representation in uniformed services will be increased: CM

The government is committed to increasing women’s representation in uniformed services, including the police, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.

He was speaking after taking salute at the passing out parade held at the Kerala Police Academy, Ramavarmapuram on Sunday. As many as 446 women police constables, who passed out from the Kerala Police Academy after completing the nine-month training, have become part of the Kerala Police.

“Women empowerment is the State’s top priority and ensuring maximum women representation in the police force and other uniformed services is significant step taken by the government in this regard,” Mr. Vijayan said.
