New Delhi, In a stirring celebration of women leadership, strength, and national pride, the 77th Republic Day Parade on 26 January 2026 at Kartavya Path turned into a vivid showcase of Nari Shakti, women commanding, marching, performing, and leading in roles traditionally dominated by men, marking a historic evolution in India’s defence and civic services.
This year’s parade, commemorating the adoption of the Indian Constitution and the spirit of democracy, stood out not just for its precision and pageantry, but for the unmistakable presence of women at the forefront of the nation’s grandest ceremonial display. The display of women power wasn’t just symbolic but, also it was structural, visible, and historic.

Historic First: CRPF Women Lead the March
One of the day’s most talked-about moments came when Assistant Commandant - Simran Bala led the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) contingent, making history as the first woman to command an all-male CRPF unit at the Republic Day parade.
Bala, 26, hails from Naushera in Jammu & Kashmir’s Rajouri district and took command of a squad of 147 male personnel, marching down Kartavya Path to the beat of the CRPF song “Desh Ke Hum Hain Rakshak”. Her leadership was widely celebrated as a milestone in gender equality within India’s largest paramilitary force.
Women Cadets and Leaders Across the Parade
Women didn’t just appear on the sidelines they were embedded in multiple core segments of the parade:
Senior Under Officer Mansi Vishwakarma led the NCC Girls Contingent, inspiring young cadets and demonstrating disciplined excellence in marching formations.
The NSS contingent, labelled “My Bharat”, was led by Charu Singh, underscoring the role of women in civic service and social engagement.
The Combined Band of the NCC lifted the crowd spirits under the baton of Cadet Saloni Yadav, filling the air with patriotic music.
The state-of-the-art Suryastra weapon system was presented under the command of Mehek Bhati, highlighting women at the helm of cutting-edge defence technology.
These women leaders lent momentum and profile to the celebrations, showing that from ceremonial precision to technical display units, women are integral to every layer of the Republic Day narrative.
42-Member CRPF Women Pyramid: Discipline and Unity
Another standout highlight was the 42-member CRPF women pyramid formation, a visual symbol of strength, coordination and teamwork. Clad in ceremonial attire, the pyramid showcased not just grace but grit the unity, strength, and physical assurance of women in uniform.
Indian Navy Tableau Under Women Commanders
In a powerful nod to maritime strength and gender equality, the Indian Navy tableau one of the centerpiece floats of the parade was commanded by Lt Cdr Roopa A and Lt Cdr Dilna K. Their leadership underscored the expanding role of women officers in India’s naval operations and ceremonial arms.
Beyond the March: Women in Support and Performance Roles
Reporters and attendees noted that women were also visible across various supporting roles:
Women personnel featured in security, logistics, and behind-the-scenes planning teams for the parade.
Women artists, performers, and cultural troupes enriched the event’s artistic expressions.
Across New Delhi’s ceremony and state level celebrations nationwide, women participated as part of school bands, community groups, and civil society delegations.
Wider Context: Women Power Celebrations Across India
Complementing the Republic Day parade in New Delhi were celebrations across the country where women’s roles were highlighted, including state programs emphasizing women empowerment and community leadership. In several cities, women professionals, drivers, and public service workers were honored as symbols of progress and equality.
Significance: A Nation Acknowledges Its Women Leaders
The breadth of women’s participation at Republic Day 2026 wasn’t incidental it mirrored a broader shift in Indian public life toward inclusive representation. Whether in paramilitary ranks, civilian service, youth cadets, or naval operations, women commanded attention not just as participants, but as leaders, commanders, and standard-bearers of national pride.
As dignitaries, citizens, and millions watching live broadcasts witnessed, Republic Day 2026 wasn’t just about colors and displays; it was about capability, equality, and empowerment. In the words of many commentators, the parade reaffirmed that “Nari Shakti” is not a slogan but a reality marching confidently into India’s future.
