Anand Mahindra Job Offer to Agniveers

The Agnipath scheme was introduced on 14 June 2022 by the Indian government. Under this, the army will recruit youths between the age bracket of 17 to 21 years. Later, the government extended the age limit up to 23 years. But the controversial thing is it will only last for four years and the army will retain only 25 per cent of them.

The personnel who get recruited under this scheme will be known as “Agniveers”. According to the Army Act 1950, these men are liable to go wherever ordered.

These terms and conditions broke out into a violent protest against the government. And on Monday, to stop this massive violence across the country, Mr Mahindra offered a job to Agniveers

He said “Saddened by the violence around the #Agneepath program. When the scheme was mooted last year I stated-& I repeat-the discipline & skills Agniveers gain will make them eminently employable. The Mahindra Group welcomes the opportunity to recruit such trained, capable young people."

Mr Mahindra is very generous

Instead of giving opportunity to Agniveer ,he should give such great opportunity to sons of netas and make them great again

Agniveer with such high salary offered by Mahindra wont be able to spend that in their life time

You do understand that the comp offered is based on the budget the company has, right? And the 10k to 15k per month is usually for entry level. Agniveers when recruited in 4 years will have great amount of experience so it is unlikely that they will just get 10k.
