Even before the Indian Army approved its ‘Tour of Duty’ plans for common citizens, leading Indian businessman Anand Mahindra said the three-year military stint would be an added advantage for such youths and also said that his firm would be willing to consider them for jobs.
“I recently learnt that the Indian Army is considering a novel proposal, the ‘Tour of Duty’. The young and fit citizens of India will get an opportunity to gain operational experience in the Army both, as soldiers and as officers through this voluntary three-year programme,” Anand Mahindra said.
“I definitely think military training will be an added advantage for Tour of Duty graduates as they enter the workplace. In fact, considering the rigid standards of selection and training in the Indian Army, the Mahindra Group will be happy to consider their candidature,” Mahindra said in an email to the Indian Army.
Indian Army’s Tour of Duty proposal, which is under consideration, would allow common citizens to serve the country by being part of the force for a period of three-years.
This proposal is part of the Indian Army’s efforts to attract the best talent of the country into its fold.
