Not salaries. But pensions...yes!!

 

Provide them good salaries and then basic social support and health care post retirement.  

 

Remember vast majority of Indians does not even have this. 

Vast majority of Indians don’t get PTSD from their jobs.

Coming to the topic,a lot of people have said including myself that it should have been a pilot project and if implemented it should have been for atleast 10-12 with the best 30% getting selected further and rest others for civil defence.

And PTSD will be taken care by free medical support.


which is not part of this scheme. After the one time settlement, there is basically no benefit. No idea how much the agniveer certificate will help them.

 

Tbh, if you see it only as a cost saving measure it is fine . Morally wrong , but practically works. But apart from cost, there is nothing to be gained here. If the goal was to reduce the average age and eventually to reduce the No of foot soldiers, a simple move would have been to set retirement age of Jawans to 30 with pension.

You hit the nail on head. Agnipath is money saving scheme for government everything else is bewakoof banana.

 

Agniveer certificate is hardly going to help them because in 4 years they will learn basic skills of army which are useless for civilian world and moreover they will be seen by society as not good enough soldiers to further continue in army.

Of course, it is money savings for the exchequer. We want MSP, want tax breaks for middle class, want freebies like free electricity, water for city folk, want to fund HDI through reservations. Where can money come from for modern tech for warfare? When Kargil, 26/11 or  Galwan happened, the first thing you all cried was we don’t have good weapons!
 

25% of new recruits  would serve after 4 years . Rest have a severance package of 12 lakhs.  They can choose what skills they want to get in 4 yrs.

 

Instead, these 10th-pass want to have monthly salary for 20 years and want to do sundry jobs. That’s their idea of life

Ah, great. Ironically it is the nationalist party and people who claim to be Nationalists who are exposed first. 
 


why do you selectively cut-n-paste? Reply to the whole message. It was part of the flow of the argument. Army job , just like Agriculture is the easy way out of berozgaarj (unemployment). Do you disagree?

For just a 4 year service, lifelong medical support in absence of permanent disability is NOT economical.

 

Offer medical insurance for the next 4-5 years and let the candidate decide.

 

And let US not even think of early retirement for jawans. That will bloat the pension budget further.
