Abstract

The Agnipath (AP) scheme to enrol personnel below officers rank in the Indian military has been implemented by the government. The maiden batch of Agniveers (AVs) shall soon be completing their first year in the units. Even in the face of the already implemented scheme, several experts have relentlessly advocated for tweaking the terms and services of the scheme towards reaping its optimal benefits to the armed forces. Proposals to introduce changes are mainly in terms of terms of service, training and benefits. The government too has expressed flexibility towards a mid-course correction after due deliberations.
