The Indian Army is considering a proposal that entails allowing common citizens to voluntarily join the force for three years as part of a model called “Tour of Duty”.

Army Chief General M M Naravane on Wednesday said that the idea came up after the army learnt from visits to colleges and universities that the youth were eager to experience army life. “When our officers addressed youths in colleges, we came across the feeling that they want to experience army life, but not as a career. Taking a cue from this, this idea was born of why not give them an opportunity to serve for two to three years,” he said.

“We will benefit by getting younger manpower and the society will benefit by getting people who are disciplined and have imbibed the ethos of the army,” he added.

Officials explained that the proposed model of Tour of Duty (ToD) has been proposed to be implemented on a trial basis for officers and other ranks in the army for a limited number of vacancies. The vacancies would be increased if the model is successful. The proposal is a shift from the concept of permanent service in the armed forces towards an “internship” for three years.

Officials said that the cost, including training, pay and allowances, incurred on people joining under the new model would be Rs 80-85 lakhs, as compared to over Rs 6 crore for an officer under the Short Service Commission, who serve up to 14 years. The army believes that the savings from this can be used in modernisation.Savings will also be in other areas. “With the ToD concept implementation, there is likely to be an exponential reduction in our salary and pension budgets,” an official explained.

Officials also said that the corporates can benefit from individuals who would serve in the army for three years. “Many corporates have indicated that these ToD officers would also be preferable to the present Short Service workforce joining the corporates at the age of 33-34 years... The officers exiting ToD would have an edge over other candidates due to their training and exposure,” an official said.

The army is also examining giving a “token” lum sum amount to officers and jawans exiting from the ToD scheme, to make it more attractive. Benefits of a battle casualty to a ToD personnel could be given if they become one. With this scheme, the army is trying to atract youth from top academic institutes such as IITs.

SIX NDFB(S) MILITANTS APPREHENDED IN

specific intelligence provided by Military
Intelligence six hardcore NDFB(S) Militants were
apprehended in joint operation by Army and

on 22 April 2015. This follow up operation was
after the apprehension of five NDFB(S) militants
in Kokrajhar on 21 April 2015. Weapons and other
war like stores were recovered from the Militants.
On further interrogation, it was revealed by these
Militants that they were tasked by NDFB(S) to

relentless operations against NDFB(S).

US troops shown as Indian Army soldiers on Martyrs Day hoardings across Chandigarh!

Chandigarh: On a day which was meant to
remember and salute the sacrifice made by
India's three great sons on the solemn occasion
of Martyr's Day, the Chandigarh Municipal
Corporation ended up committing an
embarrassing goof-up.
In a major blunder, the civic body of Chandigarh
authorised the putting up of such Martyr's Day
hoardings across the town, which had the
photographs of three US soldiers instead of
Indian Army men, reports said.
March 23 is marked as the Martyr's Day to
honour the sacrifice of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and
Sukhdev who were hanged to death on this very
day in 1931.
The horadings were put up to let the citizens
know about the events to be held for the
commemoration of the martyrdom day, that
would include a wreath-laying ceremony and
honouring the war widows.
The poster reads, “Municipal Corporation Saluted
the Martyrs of the Nation” and below it is a
photograph of three US soldiers, reportedly edited
to hide the US flags tucked on their uniforms.
The major faux pas comes even as PM Narendra
Modi is set to visit Hussainiwala in Punjab to pay
homage to the three freedom fighters who were
martyred on this very day in 1931.

Jai Maa Kaali , Aayo Gorkhali.
