Students adjust hose pipes during a training session at a fire and safety college in Sikar district in the India's desert state of Rajasthan February 9, 2015. Around 30 women were recently recruited from Rajasthan's towns and villages as part of an affirmative action policy to encourage women to join the fire service. The policy reserves 33 percent of government jobs for women candidates and has helped increase the number of women in the police and administrative services but it was not implemented in the fire service until last year.
