In a 1st, 100-year-old RIMC to open its doors for girls

For the first time in its 100-year history, Dehradun's Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC), which takes students from class VIII onwards and is regarded as a premier preparing ground for those aspiring to join the armed forces, will admit girls. "After the government opened the doors of National Defence Academy to women, RIMC decided to follow suit," RIMC commandant Col Ajay Kumar said.
