India’s Nari Shakti continues to break barriers and strengthen the nation’s defence ecosystem with courage, commitment, and leadership. The number of women officers in the Defence Forces has increased from around 3,000 to 11,000 today, reflecting the growing opportunities for women across the defence sector. From operational responsibilities and strategic decision-making to leadership positions, women are playing an increasingly vital role in safeguarding the nation and inspiring future generations to serve with pride and purpose. #12YearsOfNariShakti #WomenInDefence #NariShakti #IndianDefenceForces #WomenLeadership

The shade of Shakti keeps India safe and secure ! From strengthening indigenous defence manufacturing to building world-class combat platforms, India is steadily advancing towards #AatmanirbharDefence. India has recorded a 234% increase in defence production from FY 2014-15, with 65% of defence equipment now manufactured domestically. Defence exports increased over 5500% in the last 12 years. More than 15,000 defence equipment have been successfully indigenised.
