Leading from the front

Women have in recent times, taken up a wide variety of roles in professional life. On this International Women’s Day, for example, Madan Mahal Railway Station near Jabalpur was fully managed by women railway staff members. In the railways, women are increasingly taking up hitherto male jobs such as locopilots and train guards. Lady Travelling Ticket Examiners (TTEs) are now a common sight. Air India, on 8th March, operated several flights with all-women crew. A total of 52 flights including 12 long and mid haul international flights operated with all-women crew including cockpit and cabin crew. Over 400 women employees of the airline participated operating a whole range of aircraft including the Boeing
787 Dreamliner.
