The committee also recommended that the Home Ministry should identify the reasons that prevent women from joining the forces and come up with practical solutions to encourage their participation. One such solution is the posting of women personnel in forces like CISF and CRPF near their hometowns which would encourage them to join these forces and increase their participation in these forces as envisaged by the government.

The Committee noted that the Ministry of Home Affairs is considering an extension of leave for CAPF personnel. The Committee recommended that the proposal be positively considered and finalized at the earliest as it would boost the morale of the CAPFs.
