On 9 May, Lieutenant Commander Yashasvi Solanki (27) became the first female officer to be appointed as an associate-Day-Shree (ADC) for the President of India.
While the President, usually, there are five ADCs – three from the army, and one of the Navy and each of the Air Force – none of them have been a female officer so far.
The President’s military secretary said, “The idea began with President Dropdi Murmu as the highest commander of the President as the highest commander of the President.” The Indian Express“She speaks a lot about women empowerment, gender equality and inclusion. Therefore, this is her idea, which has been implemented,” she said.
The Naval ADC, along with completing its tenure at that time, was called a panel of three naval officers – all women – for selection. The three officers remained in the President’s property for 15 days, during which they were evaluated, including an interview with the President. In addition to physical norms, their basic intelligence and adaptability were also placed to test.

Solanki has been appointed for two-and-a-half to three-year term. While the first month was about receiving all the maximum exposure and creating synergy with the President, she said that she now feels more informed. But, as ADCS, they can never feel confident.
He said, “We are all ready for engagement and get up-to-date information about coming to meet the President, because we have to brief it before every engagement, and she can ask anything,” she said. “I had never dreamed of being selected for the President as ADC. It was never in my bucket list, because I didn’t know it could be possible,” he said.
Solanki was previously deployed in Hyderabad with Navy Ordnance (Defense Production). “I am a technical officer and initially, my knowledge was quite silent, because it was my portfolio. I had general knowledge, but it was quite normal. But now, I need to update all the time.
Solanki said, “Every word you say here, everything you do here makes a lot of difference, because whatever we say or informs is something that he goes,” Solanki said, said, Solanki said, who is the first in his family to join the defense forces.

He ran a separate energy.” Solanki said that she was now looking forward to show her family around the President.
Meanwhile, sources said that soon another woman could be ADC – perhaps from the army – to bring about “proportional representation”. “A few decades later, this obstacle must have become a matter of the past,” said Parda.
