"The Agnipath scheme by the central government gives a golden opportunity to the youth of the country to join the defence system and serve the country," Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today vouched for the government's decision to approve the new military recruitment 'Agnipath' scheme. He said it gives a "golden opportunity" to young people to join the defence forces and serve the country.
The 'Agnipath' policy allows those selected under this scheme, known as 'Agniveers', to serve in the armed forces for four years.
"The Agnipath scheme by the central government gives a golden opportunity to the youth of the country to join the defence system and serve the country. 'I am Agniveer' with being their unique identity with freshness," Mr Singh said.
"Due to a snag in the recruitment process in the army for two years, many youths did not get the opportunity to join the army. This is a fact. That is why, keeping in mind the future of the youth and showing sensitivity towards them, with the approval of the Prime Minister, the government has decided that this time the age limit for the recruitment of Agniveers should be increased from 21 to 23 years," he said.
