A conference on “Women in Uniform – An Agent of Change” was organised at RPF headquarter.

Railway Protection Force (RPF), with nine per cent strength of women personnel, the highest among all Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF’s) is poised to leverage this advantage to enhance its delivery mechanism and provide a more robust security apparatus to one of the world’s largest rail network.

A national conference was organised on Tuesday at its headquarters by RPF on “Women in Uniform – An Agent of Change”. It provided a platform to brainstorm on issues pertaining to its mahila (women) personnel, spanning from professional inclusion and enhancement, administrative and operational review, training and technical upgradation, welfare and getting the force ready to meet the upcoming challenges in the coming years and decades.

Through a series of presentation the RPF mahila personnel from constables to gazetted officers discussed issues such as the operational bottlenecks, traditional male mindsets, enabling ecosystem for performance, grievances and use of technology.

A wide array of issues was discussed with suggestive solutions in the larger interest of security of life and property on the nationwide rail network.

The conference was attended by zonal RPF heads and approximately 600 mahila RPF personnel of all ranks from across the length & breadth of the country.

It was addressed by DG/RPF who took stock of the issues highlighted, and assured commensurate policy interventions and empathetic redressal of grievances.

He applauded the efforts of the women RPF personnel especially in the field of women security.
