Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan has initiated consultations with veterans from the Army, Navy, and Air Force regarding the Agnipath recruitment scheme. This follows his recent visits to Agniveer training centers across the three services, where he assessed the scheme’s implementation on the ground.
The move comes amidst ongoing debate surrounding Agnipath. Opposition parties have called for the scheme’s rollback, while concerns have been raised about compensation for Agniveers who die serving the nation.
Despite these concerns, the Defence Ministry maintains that the scheme has received a positive response from Agniveers themselves.
