Centre planning to tweak Agniveer recruitment scheme?

The centre is evaluating the politically contentious Agniveer recruitment scheme and might tweak it soon. The Army has been internally conducting a survey in this connection. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has also indicated openness to changes. The opposition bloc is against the scheme and has said they will scrap the scheme, if voted to power. The Defence Ministry is also working overtime on the joint front, and the notification of the Inter-Services Organisations (Command, Control and Discipline) Act on May 10 has paved the way for creation of unified theatre commands. Hence, the need of a capable leadership to shepherd these projects all the more underscores the significance of the choice of the new Army chief.
