It will be known when these Agniveers come.

How does the private sector look after them, which is its 4 year job, how does it work?

By the way, if we work together, then the scheme can be completed.

On another question, Lt Gen Hooda said that the post of Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) should not have been delayed.

This process has not started, it has been 6 months.

This post is a lot of responsibility, the government had to be appointed soon.

He said that All India Recruitment is already there.

It is not that a person of any state cannot join the army but the regiment has a special composition.

But 75 percent army is All India.

We want people from all over the country to come.

People do not come from many places, our effort is that everyone should come.
