Defence Minister Rajnath Singh vouched for the 'Agnipath' scheme and said that it gives a golden opportunity to the youth to join the defence system and serve the country. In a series of tweets, Rajnath Singh said, “The 'Agneepath Yojana' announced by the Central Government is a golden opportunity for the youth of India to join the defense system of the country and serve the country. Due to lack of recruitment process in the army for the last two years, many youths could not get the opportunity to join the army. I appeal to the youth that the process of recruitment in the army is going to start in a few days. They start their preparation for it.”
