Agneepath Scheme has proved to be the biggest thorn that pricks the aspirations candidates

Shillong, June 23: The Agneepath scheme is nothing but a condescending approach by the Government of India to solve short term unemployment problem in the country and is meant only to put the country’s trajectory in a downward spiral not long from now.

The scheme has been forced upon the throats of young people without any consideration for the existing aspirants who have appeared for exams and pre-medical tests as per the recruitment procedure in the defence sector.

Meghalaya has many such aspirants whose efforts have gone in vain for no fault of theirs and everything has been cancelled to make way for this ill-conceived and haphazard scheme.

The Agneepath Scheme has proved to be the biggest thorn that pricks the aspirations and dreams of every Indian youth who wants to serve the country by joining the Indian Armed Forces. The youths selected under the  Agneepath scheme will be categorised as Agniveers.

The contractual job for four years raises more questions than answers; what will become of the majority of the Agniveers after the four years of service? Youths are forced to compulsory retirement.

This scheme does not ensure any benefits or assurances to the youths after the four years of service. We the Indian Youth Congress, strongly condemn the way the scheme is being introduced with no consideration whatsoever to the plight of the aspirants whose efforts have been belittled to a very large extend.

The irresponsible state mechanism in its efforts of politicizing the entire defence force. We stand with the youths and the public at large to show our solidarity in this hour of chaos and arm twisting by the central government.

In addition, with the ongoing security threat along India’s borders – both at the LAC and LOC – this does not seem to be a feasible period to experiment with an untried and radical system of recruitment without having conducted pilot test before the wide implementation in the armed forces.

It is said that Jobs will be provided to them post service; whatkind of jobs will be made available? How will they be eligible for such jobs ?What provisions are in place to ensure job placements when retired defence personnel suffer from acute job opportunities.

Like most of the initiatives taken by this present government to propel certain corporate houses, the Agneepath scheme is another such scheme aimed to create a huge work force which is bereft of higher education to cater to the requirement of a lower grade workforce of these large corporate houses, said Mr. Banphira lang Basaiawmoit Vice President MPYC.
