Bhopal: The opposition to the Agneepath scheme brought in for army recruitment is also visible in Madhya Pradesh. In many cities including Gwalior and Indore, the youth took to the streets. One of the reasons for the anger of the youth is that in the recruitment of 6,000 posts in the Madhya Pradesh Police, 10 per cent means 601 posts are reserved for ex-armymen, but only 6 got the job. However, even before this, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan had announced that Agniveers would be given priority in police recruitment. There was still violence after that.
The online examination for the Arakshan Recruitment 2020 in Madhya Pradesh was held between January 8 and February 17 this year. Out of 30,000 candidates for 6,000 posts, 3,000 X Armyman candidates were to be tested. 601 X Armymen were to be selected, but the selection was made only 6. A petition was filed in the High Court regarding this. Advocate NS Ruprah said the court, after a long argument on April 29, directed the government that the recruitment process would be subject to the disposal of the petition. The court has issued a notice to the government seeking its response. Similarly, uniform social welfare foundation has also filed a petition.
Retired Major General Shyam Srivastava, chairman of the Uniform Social Welfare Foundation, says that there is a doubt that the central government's Agni Path scheme will be successful. Only 25 per cent of those recruited under the scheme will have the opportunity to serve further in the Army. 75% will be out. This will make a difference to the efficiency of the armed forces on the one hand. At the same time, on the other hand, unemployment is expected to increase. This is the situation when these rules are not being followed in the ongoing recruitment in Madhya Pradesh even though 10 per cent of the posts are reserved for ex-servicemen in the current police recruitment. We have taken refuge in the court. In such a situation, how can the Government be trusted that the benefits of the Agneepath Scheme will be available to the youth in Madhya Pradesh? The retired Major General said- Six months out of four years will be spent in training. Then whichever regiment the person will go to, he will have to take separate infantry, signal or special training of his arm, which will take more time. You should have good knowledge of it before using the equipment. That person will not become a pilot in the Air Force. He will become a groundsman or mechanic. He will go to the workshop. What will he learn in four years? No one will let him touch the airplane. If you don't have to take care of the equipment in any of the wings of infantry RT, Armed or Army, then you will not be able to work there also.
