New Delhi. The government of PM Narendra Modi has started ‘Agniveer’ scheme for recruitment in all the three wings of the army. Under this scheme, youth will have to work for 4 years in the army, navy and air force. 25 percent of the youth recruited under the scheme can be placed in the three wings of the army in future also. There is also a lot of opposition to this plan. All opposition parties have raised questions on the plan. In Bihar, fierce youth are even protesting everywhere. In such a situation, it is important to know whether this scheme is really going to harm the youth, or can they get benefit in future? Let’s investigate this.
First of all, know that what will the youth get if they become Agniveer in the three wings of the army? The answer is that if a youth joins the army under this scheme at the age of 17, then even after retiring at the age of 22, he will have about 12 lakh rupees in his hand. If someone is martyred while serving the country on the border, then his family will get 48 lakh rupees. Along with this, the family will also get the salary of the remaining service of the soldier who was martyred under the Agniveer scheme. The jawans who will retire can start any work with the amount of 12 lakhs they got. Army will make 12th class for the soldiers who join after doing high school. Apart from this, 12th pass will also get a degree from IGNOU.
Now let’s talk about another benefit on retirement. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has announced by tweeting that the soldiers retiring from the Agniveer scheme will get priority on getting them in the Central Paramilitary Forces and Assam Rifles. UP CM Yogi Adityanath has also tweeted that Agniveer jawans will be recruited on priority basis in UP government jobs and police recruitment. That is, overall there is an opportunity for the youth to get a lot of benefits under this scheme. Now let’s talk about those who oppose the plan. After all, who are opposing the plan? The direct answer to this question is that they are opposing the plan, who have previously surrounded the Modi government on the issue of Indianisation of the army, its preparation against China, making CDS and even building a new memorial for the martyred soldiers. . Whereas, all this is being done in the interest of the country. It is a matter of thinking itself that if the Agniveer plan was causing damage to the three parts of the army and the country would be in danger, would the chiefs of the three wings of the army give their consent to this plan! And if anyone thinks that the army chiefs may have flagged off the plan under pressure from the government, then those who think like this are only insulting the army.
