Uttarakhand : CM Dhami’s big announcement regarding “Agneepath” scheme – Agniveers will be given full respect in the recruitment of many services including police, disaster management, Char Dham Yatra Management
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami held a press conference in relation to the Agneepath scheme of the Central Government at the Pant Bhawan in the Vidhan Sabha. He said that the country is moving ahead on the path of continuous development under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On one hand, while many big countries of the world are surrounded by various crises, India is not only successfully overcoming every challenge but is also guiding the world. Today, from diplomacy to economic front, India’s policies are being considered ideal and developed countries are also bound to follow them.
The Chief Minister said that we are all well aware of the economic crisis prevailing across the world. But in the midst of these circumstances, there is only one India which is successful in showing a ray of hope to its citizens and especially the youth. The decision of the Prime Minister to give one million jobs in the next 18 months has done the work of giving flight to the dreams of the youth. This great campaign has been started by starting the ‘Agneepath’ scheme. Under which ‘Agniveers’ will be appointed in the army. This will not only give employment to the youth of the country on a large scale, but our forces will also be more young and strong.
The Chief Minister said that Uttarakhand is also recognized as a heroic land. He expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister on behalf of 1.25 crore people of the state for the Agni Path scheme. The Chief Minister said that being a soldier’s son, I am also feeling proud that I will get an opportunity to implement this scheme in Uttarakhand as a chief servant. Under this scheme, youth of 17 years to 21 years will be recruited in the army and it will start in the next 90 days.
After the implementation of this scheme, the Indian Army will work to increase the pride and glory of the tricolor with more enthusiasm in the coming times. Along with this, the country will also get a great gift of such youth through this scheme who will be disciplined, will be full of patriotism and for whom the nation will be paramount. Such youth will lay the foundation of a new India and the foundation on which that new India will be built which will again be called Vishwa Guru.
The Chief Minister said that this scheme is going to be very beneficial for the youth of Uttarakhand who dream of joining the army. After the announcement of this scheme, I am getting messages from youths from different parts of the state in which they have expressed their gratitude to the Prime Minister for this unique effort towards the service of the nation. The youth of the country is very excited about this scheme.
One Agniveer has even sent me two lines which I want to share with all of you. he wrote that
“I am fiery, I am in love with fire, yes I am Agniveer……
The flame of patriotism is burning in the heart. The flame of patriotism is burning in the heart.
I’m obsessed with that
Yes I am Agniveer….
Yes I am Agniveer……”
The Chief Minister said that the connection of Uttarakhand with the army is well known, the history of the Indian Army is filled with the valorous stories of our brave soldiers. Some brave soldier from every house here is definitely serving in the Indian Army. Therefore, we have decided that after the service of Mother Bharti under the Agneepath scheme, the state government will give priority to the Agniveers in many services including Uttarakhand Police Disaster Management, Char Dham Yatra Management, the rules regarding this will be decided soon.
Our government is fully committed for the all-round development of the youth of the state and providing them employment opportunities and we will continue to strive in this direction. And the flag of might will be hoisted in all four directions.
