MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI R.P.N. SINGH)

| CRPF | 5925 |
| CISF | 5550 |
| SSB | 1175 |

| ITBP | 1057 |
| ARs | 471 |
| Total | 16695 |
Force-wise and rank-wise breakup is given in the enclosed statement at Annexure-I.
Hazardous working conditions, difficult isolated places of posting, non availability of accommodation and other facilities in far flung and other isolated areas, staying away from the family, better job opportunities elsewhere could be some of the challenges for women to join forces. However, the representation of women in Central Armed Police Forces has increased over the years.
The details of the steps taken to further increase the representation of women in Central Armed Police Forces are given in the enclosed statement at Annexure-II. The Parliamentary Committee on Empowerment of Women also regularly monitors the status of representation and working conditions of women in Central Armed Police Forces.
