‘Tour of Duty’ Scheme
The Department of Military Affairs has finalised the “Tour of Duty (ToD)” scheme - a radical proposal for future recruitment to the armed forces. #CAbyMilitaryChoice
• Under this scheme, the youngsters will be recruited as soldiers only for 3 to 5 years in the backdrop of the urgent need to curb the ballooning salary & pension bills that are badly impacting military modernization.
• The 12-lakh strong Army was finalizing the radical ToD proposal for both officers and jawans, which would not entail any pensionary benefits being given to them.
• The scheme, which was being pushed by the late Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, is likely to be applicable to the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Navy as well.
• But entry at the officer-level under the ToD scheme is not on the cards as of now.
• ToD scheme, which is likely to be called the “Agnipath” recruitment, is likely to be launched on an experimental basis first. But eventually, all soldiers could be recruited under this model.
• While 25% of them would serve for three years and 25% for five years, the remaining 50% would serve for the full term till they reach the retirement age.
