The team will also be interacting with school children, NCC volunteers and youth, various riding communities and audiences with an intent to sensitise and bring forth an awareness about the capabilities of women while emphasising freedom from bias, stereotypes and discrimination.

On this occasion, BWWA President Singh highlighted the important role of women in the development of the country and appreciated the efforts of the force in the field of women empowerment.

This expedition also aims to forge positive visibility of women, so as to encourage young girls and women across the country in stepping up for taking on major roles in shaping the future of the nation as well as to join the ranks of BSF.
