Saddened by the violence around the #Agneepath program. When the scheme was mooted last year I stated-& I repeat-the discipline & skills Agniveers gain will make them eminently employable. The Mahindra Group welcomes the opportunity to recruit such trained, capable young people

RPG Group CEO Harsh Goenka shared similar remarks by quoting Mr. Mahindra’s tweet.
“The RPG group too welcomes the opportunity to employ the Agniveers. I do hope other corporates will also join us to take this pledge and assure our youths of a future,” Mr Goenka wrote.
Although some of the prominent individuals are coming up to support the Agnipath scheme in various ways, the youths seem to unable to have faith in the scheme and hence they are going on with their protests.
