Opinion | Agnipath: Key to younger armed forces

India TV News  

The Centre on Tuesday unveiled an innovative scheme named ‘Agnipath’ for the recruitment of new soldiers to the army, navy and air force. Under this scheme, fresh recruits will serve for four years in the armed forces, and 75 per cent of them will be demobilized after getting an exit package called “Sewa Nidhi” to the tune of Rs 11.71 lakhs, for which both the Centre and recruits will make matching contributions. The aim of the ‘Agnipath’ scheme is to provide job opportunities to every youth, irrespective of class, gender, community or religion so that they can serve the armed forces. 75 per cent of the recruits will be compulsorily retired after four years, while the remaining 25 per cent will be given another six months’ training before they are permanently inducted into the forces. Replying to objections raised by some opposition leaders and defence experts, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, the recruits after completion of four years’ service will get a diploma, they will be given ‘credit scores’ for pursuing higher education, and the Centre will help them in getting new jobs, by imparting new skills to them.
