Lucknow: Out of the 60,244 constables selected under Constable Civil Police Recruitment-2025, a passing-out parade of 986 women recruit constables trained at the RTC of Police Commissionerate Lucknow will be held on Sunday (April 26) at the Reserve Police Lines, Lucknow.Chief minister Yogi Adityanath will inspect the parade and take the salute.The event will begin around 8am and will be live telecast at police lines, PAC battalions, and training institutions in all districts of the state. This will simultaneously convey a message of women’s empowerment and the increasing participation of women in the police force across the state.“From 1947 to 2017, only about 10,000 women were recruited into the UP Police, whereas after 2017, this number has risen to around 44,000-45,000. Now, it has been made mandatory that 20% of police recruitment in the state be reserved for women,” a govt spokesperson said.Under practical training, the constables were also made proficient in activities such as guard duty, escorting detainees, lock-up duty, uniform protocols, identifying officers’ ranks by uniform, saluting procedures, yoga, sports and community service. This training is considered a significant step toward preparing women constables as modern, sensitive and capable police personnel.
