A seminar on ‘Evolving Role and Contribution of Women Officers in the Indian Army’ was conducted by the Western Command in Chandimandir today that provided a platform to women officers to deliberate upon the challenges faced by them.

Career progression, leadership styles and work-life balance were among the topics discussed at the seminar. The event also highlighted the importance of enhancing mentorship programmes, reviewing deployment policies and investing in infrastructure to support women officers and soldiers.

Chairing the event, Lt Gen Manoj Kumar Katiyar, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command, reaffirmed the Army’s commitment to gender inclusivity, citing initiatives such as leadership training, gender sensitisation workshops and recruitment drives aimed at increasing women representation in the forces.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
