New Delhi: Amid the protest against the new Agnipath scheme, Lieutenant General Anil Puri said we have decided to offer Rs. 1 crore compensation to ‘Agniveers’ if he sacrifices his life in service of the nation.
Puri added that the ‘Agniveers’ would get the same allowance in the areas like Siachen and other areas which are applicable to the regular soldiers serving at present.
It would reduce discrimination issues in service, he said.
The government also issued a Seva Nidhi Package for Agniveers.
Check Seva Nidhi Package here:
1. On completion of 4 years of service- Approximate 11.7 lakhs including contribution & interest.
2. 30% monthly emolument to be contributed by Agniveers and equal matching amount contributed by the Govt.
3. Income Tax Exempt
4. Insurance cover non-contributory
Talking about the selection process, Lt General said, ”Every individual will give a certificate that they were not part of protest or vandalism. Police verification is 100%, no one can join without that.”
It is clear that any who has any FIRs lodged against them will not be able to join the force.
Indian Army’s foundation in discipline. No space for arson, vandalism. Every individual will give a certificate that they were not part of protest or vandalism.
