Secunderabad's AOC Centre has a great legacy. Passing out from there is a big achievement. While the Agnipath scheme is a new model, the quality of training seems top-notch as always. These young soldiers will bring fresh energy to the forces. Well done!

As someone who follows military developments, it's impressive to see the scale and speed of induction. The Ordnance Corps manages crucial logistics. Training them well is key. A respectful suggestion though - I hope there's a clear and robust plan for their resettlement after 4 years. That's crucial for the scheme's long-term success.
