Rajnath Singh announces gender neutral induction, faster Coast Guard compensation

Coast Guard opens SSA entries

Now, Short Service Appointment (SSA) entries are open to everyone, men and women.
Women officers on SSA can switch to Permanent Appointment (PA) if they qualify, and current PA women officers can go for higher promotions.
Plus, families of missing personnel will get faster financial support thanks to simplified procedures.

These moves are all about boosting morale as the Coast Guard heads toward its 50th anniversary in 2027.
