Youth, Employment and Agniveers

<p>The biggest dream/ problem or the confusion amongst growing teens is Career.</p> <p>A large population of Indian Youth aims to build careers in the armed forces and directly/indirectly I was also a part of it.</p> <p>One of the biggest differentiators between the armed forces career and corporate is that the armed forces career is time-bound in many aspects like you can join defense in a particular age band and have to retire at a certain age.</p> <p>While armed forces open the door for employment and, the youth protects our country outside and inside; one of the biggest concerns is the youth does not contribute to the economy directly.</p> <p>For example, almost 1.5 million super talented people who serve the armed forces, if become the entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, politicians, etc. may boost the economy significantly.</p> <p>I personally know several amazing talents who have served Indian Armed Forces through a short service commission and are now contributing to the economy significantly. But, this facility wasn't available to the junior talents until now.</p> <p>Fortunately, there is a great scheme by the Indian government to employ, train and enable youth to become more productive and self-reliant. But, there is a lot of confusion around it that needs clarity.</p> <p>To address this lack of clarity, I have Capt. Shashank Shandilya with me on the show today who simplified several aspects for the benefit of our youth.</p> <p>Do listen to this episode and share with the youth who are willing to contribute to the country and economy.</p> <p>I'll see you soon.</p> <p>Jai Hind</p> <p>Vivek</p>
