On Wednesday, The Centre Government informed the Supreme Court that it has decided that women, too, can now join the National Defence Academy (NDA) based in Pune.
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Centre, told the bench that a decision has been taken at the highest level of armed forces and government.
"There is a piece of good news. A decision has been taken at the highest level of forces and government that women will be inducted for Permanent Commission through the National Defence Academy. The decision was taken late evening yesterday" submitted ASG Bhati.
The court was hearing the plea seeking to allow women to take part in the NDA exams.
