During Kovid, military recruitment was closed for 2 years.
There is a shortage of more than one lakh soldiers in the Indian Army. The Ministry of Defense has recently given this information to the Standing Committee of Parliament. At present, the total number of army is 12.48 lakhs while more than one lakh are vacant.
Of these, 92,410 posts are of Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) and Non-Kumshand Officer (NCO). This indicates a decrease of around 7.72%. As of October 1, 2024, 11,05,110 posts were filled as compared to 11,97,520 in the army.
Apart from this, there is also a shortage of 16.71% officers. According to data up to July 1, 2024, the army has 42,095 officers (except medical core, dental core and military nursing service), while the number of sanctioned posts is 50,538.
Recruitment remained closed for 2 years in Kovid Every year about 60 thousand soldiers retire from the army. For two years, military recruitment remained closed for two years during Kovid. Due to this, there was a shortage of 1.20 lakh soldiers directly in the army. After the start of the Agneepath scheme in 2022, only about 40 thousand Agniveer soldiers are being recruited every year. Due to this, the shortage of recruitment during Kovid is not being met.
The youth who have passed the Defense Service Exam are trained in the Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun. Cadets that complete the course are commissioned in various organs of the army.
Ministry said- The deficiency from Agneepath scheme will be completed soon On removing this deficiency, the ministry says that as the Agneepath scheme progresses, the shortage of soldiers will be fulfilled. At the same time, several steps have been taken to fill the vacant posts of officers and the recruitment process has been improved.
To increase the presence of candidates in military recruitment, those who are not able to participate in the Service Selection Board (SSB) interview are being given a second chance. Apart from this, the SSB batch has been reduced to eight to ten days to double the time and medical examination has been reduced to two to three days.
At the same time, the vacancy of officers is taken out every year on exit and waste. The officer recruitment process has also been improved. A new training wing has been started at Officer Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai for training of working soldiers.
Apart from this, the technical entry scheme (10+2 TES) has been converted into a 3+1 year model. This has reduced the training period by one year.
Now know what is Agneepath Scheme … The Central Government launched the Agneepath Scheme in 2022. Under this, Army, Navy and Air Force are admitted for four years. Six months training is also included in four years. Four years later, the fire will be rated on the basis of their efficiency. Permanent service will be provided to only 25% of the firemen based on rating.
The scheme recruits soldiers under the officer rank. Their rank is as a PBOOR (PBor). The rank of these soldiers is different from the appointment of commissioned officer and non-karmashand officer in the army. Recruitment is done twice a year through a rally.
