CRPF is the only Para Military Force in the Country which has 06 Mahila (Ladies) Battalions. With increasing participation of women in politics, agitation and crime, policemen have been feeling handicapped in handling women agitations especially because even a small, real or alleged misdemeanor on their part in dealing with any matter related to women has the potential of tuming into a serious law & order problem. To cope up with such eventualities the first Mahila Bn in CRPF, the 88(M) Bn was raised in 1986 with HQ at Delhi. After its training in March 1987, 88(M) Bn won laurels for its work assisting the Meerut riots and later on with the IPKF in Srilanka.
The successful experiment of the 88 (Mahila) Bn and this ever increasing requirement of a Mahila component in dealing with emerging law and order situation as well as the Government emphasis to empower the women, Department had taken a decision of raising the second and third Mahila Bn i.e the 135 (M) Bn with HQ at Gandhinagar (Gujarat) in 1995 and the 213 Bn with HQ at Nagpur (Maharastra) in 2011 respectively. Further to augment above concept, 03 new CRPF Mahila Bn. i.e. the 232(M) Bn, 233(M) Bn & 240 (M) Bn were also raised during 2014-15,2015-16 & 2016-17 respectively. ln addition each RAF battalion has a Mahila (Ladies) component. Besides, Mahila personnel are also authorized in 241 Bastariya Bn.
At present mahila personnel are deployed in active duty in Jammu & Kashmir, Ayodhya, Manipur, Assam, LWE area and other parts of the country where they are doing commendable job.
