Compulsory Military Service for Youths
By PIB Delhi
The Government has not formulated any scheme for the mandatory service of youth in the Armed Forces. There is no role of the Sainik School in the implementation of the Agnipath scheme. The Government has approved the setting up of 100 new Sainik schools in partnership mode with NGOs/ Private Schools/ State Governments. This scheme is available to the Schools of all the States/ UTs including the States of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, subject to the applicant schools satisfying the eligibility criteria and subsequent signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the NGOs/ Private/ State Government School by the Sainik School Society.
The recruitment rallies are held by the Armed Forces with an aim to cover all the districts, inter alia, including the tribal areas of the country.
