Pune: Indian Army chief Gen MM Naravane on Friday welcomed the National Defence Academy (NDA) opening its doors to women for the first time. He said that this was a first step towards gender equality in the armed forces.

“As we open the portals of the NDA for women cadets, we expect you to welcome them with the same sense of fair play and professionalism as Indian armed forces are known world over,” General Naravane said.
