Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff has shared a post on social media, "In a landmark development in the history of the Indian Defence Forces, the first batch of women cadets trained at the National Defence Academy NDA has been commissioned as officers, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of women’s participation in military service. The pioneering batch of 17 women cadets, who joined the NDA in August 2022 as part of the 148th course, successfully completed their rigorous pre-commission training at their respective service academies. With their commissioning, these officers have joined the fraternity of military leaders entrusted with the responsibility of serving the nation. In the Indian Army, nine officers were commissioned during the Passing Out Parade of the 158th Regular Course, held at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun, on 13 June 2026. The parade was reviewed by the Hon’ble President of India..."
