The passing out parade for 986 women constables trained at the Recruitment Training Centre of the Police Commissionerate in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, is scheduled for April 26 at the Reserve Police Lines. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be present to honor the new recruits. This event underscores the Uttar Pradesh government's commitment to women's empowerment, as the number of women recruited into the police force has surged from around 10,000 between 1947 and 2017 to approximately 44,000-45,000 since 2017. The training received by these constables encompassed various aspects of modern policing, including social policing, cybercrime prevention, and forensic science, as well as practical skills such as guard duty and community service. The initiative also mandates that 20% of police recruitment in the state be reserved for women, reflecting a significant shift towards gender inclusivity in law enforcement.
