The women of SSB

Upon her graduation, Kavita Devi decided to join the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), where she was recruited as a constable in the sports quota. The Sashastra Seema Bal is a border guarding force under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. The name of the force literally translates to “Armed Border Forces”.

Constables and officers of the Sashastra Seema Bal are deployed on the Indo-Nepal and the Indo-Bhutan borders. The cadres of SSB are trained in various techniques of armed warfare and are given specialised training in Guerrilla warfare, counter-insurgency measures, intelligence operations, demolitions and survival in extreme weather.

Kavita was a posted constable with the SSB and retired as a Sub Inspector, which means that she has had all of this training. We hope nobody messes with this badass woman, for their own sake!
