- The Department of Military Affairs has finalized the “Tour of Duty (ToD)” scheme.
- It is a radical proposal for future recruitment to the armed forces.
- Under this scheme, the youngsters will be recruited as soldiers only for 3 to 5 years in the backdrop of the urgent need.
- This is to curb the ballooning salary & pension bills that are badly impacting military modernization.
- The scheme would not entail any pensionary benefits being given to them.
- ToD scheme, which is likely to be called the “Agnipath” recruitment, is likely to be launched on an experimental basis first.
