     Inspiration-July -  Ganeve Lalji

Women have broken through another glass ceiling, albeit a lower one, in the Army. Lieutenant Ganeve Lalji, a military intelligence officer with barely two years of service, has become the first-ever woman officer to be posted as the aide-de-camp (French for field assistance) of a top general.

Lt Lalji, commissioned into the intelligence corps from the Officers' Training Academy in Chennai in September 2011, is a third-generation Army officer after her father and grandfather. She excelled in her basic young officers' course. She is also a keen adventure enthusiast and has undergone mountaineering and skiing courses at Western Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Manali.
