For financing the proposed scheme , it has been suggested that the Indian government could dip into the existing budget for National Cadet Crops and National Service Scheme ,and also use funds available with the Skill Development Ministry Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.

Important Notes:-

Interestingly, while NCC qualification is not mandatory for jobs in defence or paramilitary, N-YES is proposed to be an “ essential qualification” for jobs in defence, paramilitary forces and police.

What about jobs ?

Even though the government proposes to train an army of 10 lakh youth every year , there is no clarity if this entire brigade will be absorbed in government military jobs, considering the Indian military has combined strength of 4,207,205 active and reserve personnel in service.

Not to mention the government’s plans of making the military lean and mean and the Indian Army, accordingly, ordering cadre restructuring to resize the Army.
