New Delhi: Divya Ajith Kumar, an officer in the Indian Army Air Defence, has once again proved that women are no less than men. She has become an inspiration for many others to join the armed forces.
According to a website 'Being Indian' report, Kumar has become the first woman in the history of Indian Army to have received the coveted 'Sword of Honour' from the Officers Training Academy (OTA) in 2010.
