Said in the report presented in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday
According to the report tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, the committee is dismayed that women constitute only 3.68 percent of the total strength of the CAPFs. The committee suggested to the Ministry of Home Affairs that concrete steps should be taken to increase the representation of women in CAPFs.

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 observed that CAPF personnel work under immense pressure, the nature of their duties being such that they are deployed in harsh climatic conditions.
Therefore, it is necessary to give them leave at reasonable intervals to give them mental relief and reduce the pressure so that they can spend time with their families. 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.
