She will be saved by giving gratuity and pension to Agniveers. A few thousand people will also get temporary jobs. But will not the result of this plan be that the path ahead of the Agniveers will become Agneepath?

Research will probably be needed to find out whether any major country of the world has made arrangements for its security through temporary troops. That probably won’t happen. And in this situation, now India will definitely become a country where soldiers will be appointed for only four years – it is a matter of fact that instead of calling them soldiers, they will be called Agniveers. According to the announced plan of the Narendra Modi government, these Agniveers will be given responsibility in every field and at every level in the army. After four years, he will be sent off by paying Rs 10-11 lakh. A part of this amount would also have been deducted from his own salary, which would be between 30 to 40 thousand rupees per month. Now if the government hopes that in such a salary, it will get such passionate and passionate youth, who can also play a role in hi-tech defense warfare, then it will be called over-optimism of the government.

Some ex-servicemen have rightly said that the army is not a source of employment. Neither the feeling of patriotism or nationalism is the main motivation of soldiers in any country. Rather, they make the highest sacrifice for the country because of professionalism and ability. How can such spirit and ability be expected in soldiers with low wages and four years of service, the answer must be given by the government. For the time being, it has said that Agniveers who have been relieved will be given priority in the appointment of paramilitary forces. But perhaps the real problem is that neither in these forces nor in the army there are enough recruitments. As stated, the main concern of the government is to run the work at a low cost. So giving gratuity and pension to Agniveers will save her. A few thousand people will also get temporary jobs. This will help the government handle the headlines amid rising unemployment. But the result of this plan will be that the path ahead of the Agniveers will become Agneepath. There is an apprehension that the security of the country will also have to pass through this path in the future.
