Brief about the Agneepath Scheme
Last week on Tuesday the ministry of India launched the Agneepath Scheme. As per this Scheme, the youth of the nation aged between 17 and a half years to 21 years will be eligible to work as Army, Navy, or Air force officers of India for a term of 4 years. They will be called Agniveers. 25% of these Agniveers will enjoy the benefit to retain their job for 15 more years.
This scheme faced a blustery revolt in many states. Several trains were burnt in the brutality while 500 trains were called off due to the outrage.
