The Story in Brief
Dharwad Deputy Commissioner Snehal R. inaugurated a defence exhibition on Friday, urging students to consider careers in the armed forces, police and other services. Speaking at the event jointly organised by the Karnataka Education Board and local schools, she encouraged students to learn about the Centre's Agniveer scheme and develop an interest in national security.
Brigadier S.G. Bhagwat noted India's shift from importing defence equipment to exporting missiles, stressing the need for discipline among youth. The exhibition featured models by 350 students from Army, Navy, Air Force and Border Security Force units, drawing visitors from schools and colleges across Dharwad.
The Indian Opinion
The Dharwad DC's call to arms echoes the government's push for youth recruitment, but glosses over the controversy around the Agniveer scheme's short-term contracts. Critics say four-year stints with no pension deter genuine service-minded candidates, while supporters argue it modernises the force. The real test is whether such exhibitions spark applications or remain photo-ops in a district with limited career options.
