Raise women's share in workforce to 25% by 25: DGCA circular

Indian airports and airlines should have at least 25 per cent women at various levels by next year, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) suggested Wednesday while issuing multiple recommendations to them to promote more gender equality in the country's aviation sector.

The regulator suggested that the airports and airlines should publish the vacant positions on various forums, explicitly encouraging applications from female candidates and draftir positions with precise information on flexible working conditions in their organisations.

The organisation should monitor the gender ratio to identify gaps in diversity by setting up a system to evaluate and track progress in gender diversity, it said.
