“RESPONSIBILITY AS RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS” - 26 JAN REPUBLIC DAY


One often comes across the adage “with power comes responsibility especially for responsible citizenship!”

            ‘Leadership’with Politicians are to uphold the above quotation but in Military Leadership the adage becomes more apt when the said statement includes ‘ACCOUNTABILITY’. Yes! recent incidents at ‘URI’, Border incursions and accidents have had heads rolled, at every opportune with Officers under scrutiny or enquiry. One wonders how many Bureaucrats, Ministers or policy makers have resigned or were sacked on moral grounds or principles or held accountable while in respective chairs.

            Every year we celebrate Independence Day and the Republic day with gusto, pomp and pageantry, but never on this day any official steps up to commit himself in serving the people or accepts accountability; rather they are serving themselves ‘fat as fat can be! Rather more of lip service and false statements / assurances.

            The youth today is well aware of happenings around and soon realize their responsibility as responsible citizens and make politicians and bureaucrats down on  their knees in accountability.

            Accountabilityfor ones action and responsibility towards the citizens is an aspect the ‘youth’ desires and the first place is public service, institutions and in personal life. Where can one find all three above, but serving the nation in the Armed forces. The Cavalier India team invites them, all through the year, in training and an awareness of ones Duty towards the Nation as respomsible citizens upholding the Constitutions.

Retirement Age of Troops in Army, Air Force & Navy Set to Increase, Says CDS General Rawat

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has said that the retirement age of jawans in the Army, airmen in the Indian Air Force (IAF) and sailors in the Navy will be extended as it could benefit nearly 15 lakh men of all three armed forces.  “We are soon bringing a policy to extend the service profile of the men (forces nomenclature for troops) and have an increased minimum retirement age,” said General Rawat in an exclusive interaction with The Tribune yesterday. On being asked if he was looking to cut down the manpower costs as rising salaries and pensions were taking away a large portion of the budget, General Rawat said, “I am looking at manpower costs. Why should a jawan serve for just 15 or 17 years, why cannot he serve for 30 years? We are losing trained manpower.”  Easing fears that this policy would change the age profile of the fighting force, he said that the frontline combatant could be young. “We have an Army Medical Corps, why can’t the nursing assistant serve ...
