The Agnipath Military Recruitment Scheme was announced on June 14, after which violent protests broke out in different parts of the country. Launching this scheme on June 14, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that it is a transformational scheme and will give youth profile to the armed forces of the country.
Earlier, PM Modi without directly naming anyone, on Sunday said, "It is our country's misfortune that many good things brought with good intentions get trapped in political colours. Media also gets dragged into it due to its TRP compulsions." On Monday, PM Modi said in Bengaluru that some decisions taken by the government may seem unfair and bad but these decisions will help in nation building later.
Agnipath scheme
The Agnipath scheme provides for the recruitment of youths between the ages of 17-and-half years to 21 for four years in the armed forces. There is a provision to retain 25% of them after four year, while the rest 75% will retire. The government has extended the upper age limit to 23 years for recruitment in 2022.
After the protest of the students, the government made major changes in the scheme and announced on Sunday that if Agniveer dies during the service, then his family will be given Rs 1 crore as compensation.
