‘Agnipath’: Concessions Planned, Not Fallout Of Protests, Says Centre

A large number of soldiers were in their 30s and this age factor had become worrisome, Lieutenant General Anil Puri told reporters today

NEW DELHI

A defence tri-service briefing today looked to clear doubts about the new military recruitment scheme ‘Agnipath’ and explained why the country needs this policy for mass entry to the armed forces.

A large number of soldiers were in their 30s and this age factor had become worrisome, Lieutenant General Anil Puri told reporters today, citing a report by a committee on the 1999 Kargil War.

Lt. General Puri also said the centre did not give concessions in the ‘Agnipath’ scheme because of protests and arson, but that those were already in the works. He said the ‘Agnipath’ planners did not anticipate the protests because the armed forces stand for discipline and only disciplined applicants join the former.

The top military officer said the COVID-19 pandemic and the long lockdown allowed the planners to finally make the move to the ‘Agnipath’ scheme. “There could have been no better time to implement the Agnipath scheme. This was the least painful time (for the switch),” he said.

“We had lengthy discussions on how to make our forces young. We studied foreign forces too. We want young people. Youth are risk takers, they have passion, josh aur hosh in equal proportions,” said Lt. General Puri, who is the Additional Secretary in the Department of Military Affairs.

Lieutenant General C Bansi Ponnappa said the rallies for army recruitment will start in the first half of August and the first lot of ‘Agniveers’ will come in by December first week. The second lot will come by February. The officer said the army will hold 83 recruitment rallies and touch “every village” in the country.

For the navy, the first lot of ‘Agniveers’ will reach INS Chilka in Odisha for training by November 21.

The air force will enrol the first batch of ‘Agniveers’ by December this year and training will begin the same month.

Lieutenant General Puri said any candidate who faces a police case cannot apply for‘Agnipath’. “The Agnipath scheme will not be rolled back. Why should it be rolled back?” he said.

The protests, meanwhile, continues in some states, the most intense being in Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Bihar. The centre has announced several concessions amid the protests. There will be a 10 per cent quota in Defence Ministry jobs, spread across the Coast Guard and defence civilian posts, and all the 16 defence public sector undertakings. This reservation would be in addition to existing reservation for ex-servicemen.

On top of all this, the government announced 10 per cent reservation for ‘Agniveers’ in the Central Armed Police Forces, or CAPFs, and the Assam Rifles, which comes under the Defence Ministry.

GMR Infra to give priority in jobs to Agniveers in its security solutions arm

GMR Infrastructure Limited on Tuesday said it will give priority in jobs to Agniveers in its subsidiary firm RAXA Security Solutions Ltd NSE -0.33 %. RAXA Security Solutions provides man-guarding services, techno security solutions, fire and cyber security services.

The central government has recently launched the Agnipath scheme for youth willing to join the Armed Forces and serve the country.

Inspired by the scheme, GMR Infrastructure has decided to give high priority to Agniveers who are willing to pursue a new career in the private security domain and offer them employment in its security firm RAXA Security Solutions for a variety of assignments, the company said in a statement.

The Agnipath scheme for the armed forces announced on June 14, provides for the recruitment of youth between the age bracket of 17-and-half years to 21 only four years, with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years. The others would retire without gratuity and pension benefits. Later, the government extended the upper age limit to 23 years for recruitment in 2022.

Protests have erupted in several states against the scheme.

"Corporate world would offer a vast horizon to these Agniveers after they retire from active duty of the Armed Forces. There are various fulfilling job opportunities that a security company like RAXA has. We believe that with their discipline, teamwork, and training skills, Agniveers shall be a great asset for RAXA," said Ashwani Lohani, CEO of GMR Services Business.
