The problem with old school politicians (even the younger ones) is #Modi thinks far ahead of them - while they are still stuck in a 60s and 70s construct. That’s why despite opposition #Modi keeps winning. #Agnipath is the latest example. #AgnipathRecruitmentScheme 2/n
2/n Concept of lifetime employment is out of date. A youngster who doesn’t have a job will not turn down an opportunity in a good organisation where he can learn on the job just bcoz it isn’t for life. Key is value-addition thru skills and competency development #Agnipath 3/n
3/n That is why youngsters line up in companies like Tata etc to join as interns or trainees. They know that all of them may not get absorbed but at the end of the term their “market value” would have exponentially increased. #Agnipath 4/n
4/n in fact these organisations have the problem of retention that’s why they sometimes make trainees and interns sign “bonds”. It is quite possible that many #Agniveer graduates may not be interested in joining BSF, CRPF or Police - as they will have better options outside 5/n
5/n Unfortunately politicians don’t get it. Was amazed to hear a young opposition leader from UP making disparaging remarks about former jawans having to take up jobs as security staff. In our feudal society dignity of labour is an alien concept. #Agnipath 6/n
7/n These people don’t know that a large part of forex remittances to Nepal come from retired British and Indian Army Gurkhas working in overseas (Gulf, Hong Kong etc). The myopia of our people (some journalists included) is mind blowing. #Agnipath #AgnipathRecruitmentScheme 7/7
