Big Revamp To Agniveer Scheme
In all the wars we have analysed, the importance of youth has been evident. They need to be motivated, educated and technologically savvy. That was the purpose of introducing this scheme: @GenMeston tells @madhavgk
Soldiers who shed their blood for the country should not be treated as a casual force by being employed for four or six years: Badruddin Khan, Spokesperson, SP

NFPRC Foundation successfully convened its Pre-Budget Roundtable on Defence & Strategic Security at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi.
The room brought together a rare mix of veterans, industry leaders, journalists and scholars for a candid, forward-looking exchange.
The discussion was rich in ground-level experience and practical ideas, moving well beyond headline numbers to what India's defence preparedness needs next. The energy and depth of the conversation made it a truly rewarding afternoon.
Moderated by Subimal Bhattacharjee (@subimal), the roundtable was joined by:

Most of the psychometric tests are done, but the best input is always given by the colleagues and the people with whom you are serving: ＠GenMeston tells ＠MadhavGk
Besides psychometric test on pilots, my views on role of colleagues, crew members etc, on reporting a behavioral pattern of an individual over a long period of time.

It was planned as a 9/11 attack, and if we were aware of what happened, all the fingers would have been pointed at only one country, which is Iran: ＠GenMeston
Criminal investigations and security matters are handled through formal judicial and law enforcement channels, with international coordination conducted through the appropriate mechanisms when required, so this information should not be rushed: @FormulaRauda tells @MadhavGk
