4. What would be the impact of the scheme on the operational preparedness of the Armed Forces?

Ans: The operational effectiveness of the Armed Forces will enhance by this Scheme. By having a younger profile which is more fighting  fit with less encumbrances, it is expected that the risk taking capability of these personnel would be higher. With the infusion of  technology and revamping of the training programmes, the Armed Forces would ensure that the personnel inducted under the scheme  have the same skill sets which are required to meet the operational challenges. Since the training standards are clearly defined, and  monitored by the highest authorities in the Armed Forces, it would be ensured that the Agniveers meet the highest professional standards

5.The Scheme envisions younger age profile of the Armed Forces. Is the Age
eligibility criterion for enrolment under the Scheme different from the earlier practice?

Ans: Candidates between 17% to 23 years of age meeting other educational, physical and medical criteria would largely be enrolled as  Agniveers. The Scheme also aims to harness the “Skill India” initiative by enrolling candidates qualified in ITI/Diploma holders in future  with the necessary skills for certain technical trades.

6.Can the Agniveers opt for enrolment in the Permanent Cadre?

Ans: Based on organisational requirement and policies promulgated by the Armed Forces, all Agniveers after completing their  engagement period, will be offered an opportunity to apply for enrolment in the permanent cadre. These applications will be considered  by a centralised transparent rigorous screening system which would be based on merit and demonstrated performance during service.  Upto 25% of the Aginveers would be selected for enrolment in the permanent Cadre as per the existing Terms and Conditions. Selection of  Agniveers for further enrolment into the Armed Forces will be the exclusive jurisdiction of the Government through laid down policies.

7.How does the scheme compare to the other nations?

Ans: A careful analysis of the methodology of induction, retention and release of Armed Forces personnel in various developed countries  was carried out to adopt the best practices being followed in these countries. The analysis revealed the following:

Primarily Volunteer Model. All countries including those who have conscription have a volunteer Armed Forces once the mandatory time stipulation over.

• Enrolment Procedures. Majority of the countries follow multiple enrolments models at various stages of military career  enabling soldiers to voluntarily continue or exit service.
• Retention. All countries after the initial compulsory service period, retain soldiers based on their choice and a meritorious  selection process. d. Training. All countries have a shorter initial training period. Specialised training is imparted once the soldier is  selected for service for a longer duration.
• Incentivisation of Exit. These incentives vary from country to country but generally are in the following fields:

1. Relaxation/Incentives to pursue higher education.
2. Financial package on exit.
3. Credits in education qualifications for type and duration of service rendered.
4. Advantage for recruitment in the permanent cadre.
5. Some assurance of job on exit.

• The Agnipath scheme aims to follow the same model and similar incentives as have been given in the developed countries.

8. Regimental system is one of the motivating factors for soldiers and officers  to bond and perform beyond the call of duty during wartime. Will the induction change the same?

Ans: We shall be retaining the Regimental system, since the Scheme envisages selecting the best of the Agniveers and only those who  proved their mettle, the cohesiveness of the unit would be ensured by these personnel. Further, these aspects would be focussed. upon and  accentuated by training received once the Aginveer reaches the unit.

9.Since there is going to be a limited training period, would it be adequate to meet the operational challenges?

Ans: Youth today eat better, run faster and longer, are more adept to technology and adept more easily to change. The aim to exploit the talent of the present day generation in our training patterns while simultaneously utilizing technology such as simulators to ensure an effective training programme. Since the basic qualification and qualities available with the youth have improved over the years, it gives us  an opportunity to restructure the training pattern with more time being available for both physical and technical training. It also gives us  an opportunity to review our present training pattern to make them contemporary, technology based and tailor made for the requirements of the Armed Forces.

10. Is the Agnipath scheme likely to be opened to women?

Ans: It is envisaged that in future women will be inducted in a progressive manner for joining the Armed Forces under the Agniveer  Scheme.

11. How will this scheme ensure recruitment from all over the country?

Ans: The Scheme aims to capitalize on the broad based talent pool of the Nation and select the best for a career in the Armed Forces. The  present pattern of selection into the Armed Forces is not being changed with the introduction of the scheme. The only change that is  happening is in the Terms and Conditions of the service. As you all are aware, that the three Services are having well established selections  centers spread over the country which have enabled them to recruit people from even the remotest part of the Nation. Since  these very selection centers would continue to undertake the responsibility of recruiting personnel, we expect that the all India  representation would not be affected by the introduction of the Scheme.
