Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran said: “Agneepath is not only a great opportunity for the youth to serve the defense forces of the country, but it will also provide a highly disciplined and trained youth to the industry including the Tata Group. Recognizes the potential of the Tata Group agniveer And welcomes the opportunity it represents.”
Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group tweeted, “Saddened by the violence around the Agneepath event. When the scheme was considered last year, I said – and I repeat – the discipline and skill acquired by firefighters would make them eminently employable. Mahindra Group welcomes the opportunity to recruit such trained, capable youth.” Later in another tweet, he said, “Great employment opportunities for Agniveers in the corporate sector. With leadership, teamwork and physical training, Agniverse provides the industry with market-ready professional solutions covering the full spectrum from operations to administration and supply chain management. ,
India unveiled a military recruitment policy last week, called Agneepath, or “the path of fire”, to bring young people into the defense system in short tenures. However, this triggered violent protests in many parts of the country, with the authorities canceling several train services. Protesters say the scheme deprives them of permanent jobs in the armed forces, including guaranteed pension and other perks.
jsw Group President Sajjan Jindal said that negative elements in the society are instigating the youth of the country against the scheme. Instead, this policy will strengthen the country against any external threat, he added. “Negative elements in the society are provoking young people by saying that this will lead to militarization of our country. What it will do will make our country strong against any external threat. Jindal, the first industrialist to speak in favor of the scheme, further said that there could be no better place than the Indian Armed Forces to train the youth and that the Agniveers would be groomed to get the best jobs available in the market in a four-year tenure. . It will be a boon for organizations to hire them. “There is no better place to train our youth than in our armed forces. Countries like Switzerland, Israel and Singapore compulsorily make their citizens undergo military training… For a young country like ours, having access to a large pool of disciplined and educated young individuals – firefighters available for recruitment by organizations is a must. a boon. Four years of military training will prepare people for the best jobs available in the market.”
Harsh Goenka, Chairman, RPG Group also welcomed the move and the opportunity to appoint candidates (Agnivar) under the Agneepath policy. “The RPG Group also welcomes the opportunity to hire firefighters,” Goenka tweeted. Biocon chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw also tweeted, “I strongly believe Agniverse will have a distinct advantage in recruiting in the industrial job market.”
FICCI President and HUL MD Sanjiv Mehta He said that he is happy with the scheme for several reasons. “One is that it is not just about the number of people who wear the uniform to make it an effective armed force. We need people who are young, energetic, passionate, trained and fully equipped to serve our country, serve our country and protect our nation. This plan is in that direction.” He added, “So it would mean the right mix of youth and experience in the armed forces. This will be a great opportunity for the youth of the country to serve the nation and once they step in as Agniveer, it will become a great talent pool for a corporation like ours. Mehta also insisted that he would like to recruit Agnivers in HUL. “As the CEO & MD of Hindustan Unilever, I would love to recruit trained, passionate, disciplined and skilled people. We may have to provide them with some of the right kind of skills for the kind of job they can do, but it will turn out to be a huge pool of talent. ,
Sanjeev Bikhchandani, founder of Info Edge, the parent company of online job portal Naukri.com, said that if a person serves in the armed forces for four years, he will work as a disciplined and trained professional. They will have a sense of service and commitment from their early to mid-twenties and can adapt and adjust to any career – state police forces or central security forces or even in the private sector. “And in the private sector I’m not just talking about roles in security – it can be in many roles – sales, service, back office, operations anything. And I’m not just talking about blue or gray collar jobs. Many people can rise into management jobs too,” tweeted Bikhchandani. “In the past we have seen those who leave the forces in their forties and fifties, limiting their options to those in the private sector. are typecast in security and administration roles. But that is because they have been in the armed forces for two decades or more.”
He continued, “We have seen young people in countries like Israel and Singapore serve two years in the military after high school and then pursue successful careers outside the defense forces and government. Every year, the best business in the US The best MBA programs in schools accept many students who have served in the US military for a few years. And they float. Discipline, focus, and commitment are qualities that are valued by all companies. And they are proving increasingly rare. Huh.”
