On the eve of Women’s Day on March 8 this year, Navi-Mumbai based Top Marshall Women Security started a unique training programme to train female security guards. Three months later, 200 trained female guards, comprising college pass-outs and homemakers, among others, have successfully completed the course and are ready to don their uniforms for the role of a security guard that till now has been considered a male-dominated profession.
