This move will have far-reaching consequences in terms of shattering the glass ceiling in defence.

&lt;p id='p_1'&gt;This progressive step will help give women their due position and rights, which will ultimately help in elevating their position in the social hierarchy and send out a powerful social message so&amp;nbsp;women are not seen as fragile, or as a burden, but as role models and torchbearers.&amp;nbsp;It will help in shattering the glass ceiling in defence at a time the Indian woman is still entangled in the shackles of patriarchal norms prevalent in our society.&lt;/p&gt;
