News India Live, Digital Desk: There are many questions in the minds of the youth who have the passion to serve the country regarding the ‘Agniveer’ scheme. The biggest confusion is regarding marriage. Many youngsters are pressurized by their family members to get married, but if you have worn the uniform of Agniveer, then you need to be very careful.
Army rules are very strict and this has been made very clear under the ‘Agneepath’ scheme. As long as you are Agniveer, you cannot be bound by marriage.
What does the rule say?
If you understand in simple words, only unmarried youth can apply under Agniveer Yojana. This condition is applicable not only till the time of recruitment but also during the entire 4 years of service.
If a youth gets married during training or while on duty, it will be considered a violation of army rules. The consequences of this can be very bad. Such Agniveer can be dismissed from the job with immediate effect. And yes, in such a situation you may not get ‘ex-serviceman’ status or any other benefit.
The dream of permanent commission will be shattered
We all know that after 4 years, 25% (or as per the new rules of the government) Agniveers will be given ‘permanent’ jobs. But this opportunity will be given only to those whose record is clean.
If an Agniveer gets married secretly during the 4 years and the Army comes to know about it, then it will be difficult to complete the tenure of 4 years, leave alone being ‘permanent’. Entry in the permanent cadre will also be considered only if you fulfill all the conditions (which may also include marital status).
Why does the army do this?
The question in your mind would be why is the army against marriage? Look, the training and initial years of a soldier are very difficult. During this period the youth has to become completely strong physically and mentally. The Army believes that the responsibilities of marriage and family can be a distraction. A soldier’s entire focus should be on the security of the country and his training, and not on household problems.
Have to give an affidavit
It’s not just a matter of trust. At the time of recruitment, a written affidavit is taken from the fire fighters that they are unmarried and will not marry until the training is over or the service is completed. If later it is found that you lied, it will be considered fraud and strict action will be taken.
advice for youth
Friends, earning a uniform is not easy. If your dream is to become a permanent officer or soldier in the army, then it would be wise to put your personal happiness on hold for a few years. Set your career first, serve the country, and when the uniform is confirmed, then think of riding a horse.
