One of the most reputed and famous industrialist of India Anand Mahindra has offered jobs to the soldiers who will be posted under the Agniveer scheme. Anand Mahindra has said he is saddened by the violence around the Agnipath scheme and wants to recruit Agniveers. “The Mahindra Group welcomes the opportunity to recruit such trained, capable young people,” said Mahindra.
“When the scheme was mooted last year I stated-& I repeat-the discipline & skills Agniveers gain will make them eminently employable,” the group chairman had further stated.
Asked what positions Mahindra will offer Agniveers, the industrialist responded, “Large potential for employment of Agniveers in the Corporate Sector. With leadership, teamwork & physical training, agniveers provide market-ready professional solutions to industry, covering the full spectrum from operations to administration & supply chain management.”
On Sunday, the government banned as many as 35 WhatsApp groups that were allegedly spreading fake news about the scheme. Ruling out any rollback of the ‘Agnipath’ recruitment scheme in view of widespread protests, the three service chiefs came out with a broad schedule of enrolment of soldiers under the new policy and asserted that it is the only “progressive” step to bring down the age profile of the three services, according to a PTI report.
