While I appreciate the Agniveer scheme, I hope the government ensures proper rehabilitation after their 4-year service. These youth deserve long-term security for risking their lives at the borders.

Ladakhis make excellent soldiers - they're born and brought up in those harsh conditions. No one knows the terrain better than them. Smart move by the Army to recruit locally. 👏
