\u201cVeerangana means a brave female, someone who can fight for their rights. A strong woman not only protects herself, but protects others too\u201d, said Shri Kishore Kalita, Director and Producer of the Assamese documentary film Veerangana<\/em>, while addressing a press conference today at the 52nd<\/sup> International Film Festival of India being held in Goa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Veerangana <\/em>has been selected for the Indian Panorama section in the Non-feature film category. It deals with a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country; Assam Police\u2019s first female commando force \u2018Veerangana\u2019 which was launched in the year 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNowadays, we talk about women rising in tandem with men in every field, but when the night comes, woman are afraid to go out alone due to the fear of eve-teasers and harassers. The fact that women can protect women, is what I wanted to show through this documentary\u201d, added Kishore Kalita, who is an advocate by profession and describes filmmaking as his passion.<\/p>\n

Brain child of the present Director General of Police, Assam, Shri Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, who was the then AGP (Training and Armed Police), Veerangana is a strong female police unit to fight the rising crimes against women in the state of Assam. These women were trained in motorbike riding, martial arts and handling lethal and non-lethal weapons to effectively deal with any crime. They were also trained in \u2018Silent Drill\u2019, a unique silent precision exhibition drill in handling a rifle, made famous by the US Marines.<\/p>\n

In the 21 minute documentary, the Directors shows us how the female commando unit of Assam Police carries out various activities and how they deal with the increasing trends of criminality in society with confidence and strength.<\/p>\n

Dedicating the film to the valour of the female warriors of the Assam Police, Shri Kalita said, \u201cI hope people will get encouraged after watching this film, especially young girls, who aspire to be brave and courageous facets of the society one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concept of Veerangana<\/em> is such that if a woman comes out at night and sees the Veeranganas, the brave ladies in uniform patrolling the streets, they will feel secure and safe\u201d, the Director further added.<\/p>\n
