The National Security Guard launched India's first Mahila Commando Conversion Course (MCCC) on 24 August 2026 at its Training Academy in Manesar, Haryana.
The 12-week residential course runs from 24 August to 12 November 2026 and is open to selected women personnel of State Police Forces and Central Armed Police Forces.
The first batch comprises 25 women constables from the 5th Battalion of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary at Ghatgate.
Training covers physical conditioning, weapons proficiency, marksmanship, tactical intervention and hostage rescue drills, under the theme 'She Who Dares, Leads'.
Trainees return to their parent forces after the course, so the counter-terror skill base spreads beyond the NSG itself.
