Lieutenant General C Rajesh Pushkar, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Command, has expressed the Indian Army's readiness to establish training centres for youth at district headquarters across Telangana. He made the announcement after meeting Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
During the meeting, Reddy requested the Army to organise training programmes in identified districts to boost awareness about recruitment among local youth. The Chief Minister also discussed the Army's role in disaster management, urging a proactive role in rescue, evacuation and rehabilitation in flood-hit areas. The Lieutenant General assured that local army officials would take special initiatives during such emergencies.
The Army's offer to set up district-level training centres is welcome, but Telangana must ensure these do not become just another photo-op. The real test lies in sustained follow-through: are district administrations ready to identify the right venues, coordinate schedules, and ensure that rural youth actually benefit? And on disaster management, the Chief Minister's request is sensible, but the state must first improve its own early-warning systems and relief machinery, rather than pass the buck to the Army every time it floods.
