army to make a free and fair recruitment

Even army recruitments are not free from anti-social and unscrupulous people who cheat aspirants in the name of lucrative army jobs. The Army officials are quite apprehensive about the presence of such elements in the proposed grand recruitment rally to be held in Bolangir from 18^th to 23^rd January at Bolangir. So they want to create awareness among the youths not to get influence of such elements as only genuine and worthy youths will be selected in a free and unbiased manner.

“We do apprehend the presence of such elements during the recruitment rally as it has become their profession to cheat the poor and innocent youths when ever any army recruitment takes place. But we want to make it clear that such elements have absolutely no role in any recruitment, but they are only to cheat the innocent youths. I appealed the youths not to get influence on such false promises as recruitment in Army is always done in a free and fair manner”, commander, central command of Army Navin Jha told.

While talking to the press on Saturday in the conference hall of Revenue Divisional Commissioner (RDC) , Com Jha described how the Inidan Army is taking keen interest on the development of the Army in Orissa. “Since we do not have a sizable numbers of persons in Indian Army we want to recruit youths of the state by organizing recruitment rally in various part of the state. The questions of having a separate regiment for Orissa can not be pushed forward unless there is a good number of youths from the state” commander Jha reiterated.

According to him, Army has already directed the state police and intelligence department of both state and central government to keep close watch on the movement of such anti-social elements during the progress of the recruitment. “But it is only possible if the candidates themselves would be aware and keep themselves away from such nuisance elements”, Jha added.

The RDC (northern Division) Jamil Ahamad khan expressed pleasure on the recent development of the Army to focus on the western part of the state in particularly. “I am happy that Army has taken keep interest to focus Orissa in their map. Thanks to the General Officer and commanding in chief of central command Lt.Gen JK Mohanty during whose tenure Orissa will get better focus in the Army map”, RDC Khan said.

According to him Army has decided to set a full-fledged Sanik School at Sambalpur and Army unit at Jharsuguda in near future. While identification of land for Sanik School has been finalized, for Army unit process has been on for identification. I hoped these establishments will definitely attract youths of the area to take up Army service as a ‘career’, Khan added.
