“She Who Dares, Leads. A New Milestone in Nari Shakti.

In a pioneering initiative towards strengthening women’s operational capabilities in India’s counter-terrorism architecture, the NSG Training Academy, Manesar has commenced the 1st Mahila Commando Conversion Course (MCCC) for women personnel of State Police Forces and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs),” the post read. The intensive 12-week course has been designed to develop physically robust, technically proficient and operationally prepared women commandos.

The NSG Training Academy's initiative is intended to go beyond individual skill development by extending the specialised counter-terrorism expertise of the force to women personnel drawn from different security forces. According to the NSG, the course will help create a wider pool of trained operational personnel while promoting common professional standards and strengthening interoperability among various forces involved in India's security architecture.

The initiative is also aimed at ensuring that the women personnel, after completing the course, can take their enhanced skills and operational knowledge back to their respective forces. This, in turn, is expected to contribute to stronger institutional preparedness and a more distributed counter-terrorism capability across the country.

The NSG said the first MCCC represents not merely an increase in the participation of women in security duties, but also their empowerment through operational capability.
