Rajya Sainik Board to work with panchayats for recruitment rallies

GANGTOK, 26 Dec: Rajya Sainik Board is taking the help of Panchayat members and district authorities to disseminate information on the recruitment rallies to be held in 2014 to the general public to ensure the maximum footfall. The first recruitment rally is scheduled to be held in the month of March 2014.
Rajya Sainik Board Secretary, Col DN Bhutia informed that the board has tied up with Army, Navy and Air Force recruitment authorities for the recruitment programme next year. The board has decided to request Panchayat members and district authorities to disseminate information on the recruitment to the public in their respective areas in order to generate maximum footfall in recruitment rallies.
Col Bhutia mentioned that the year 2013 was a fruitful and satisfying year in terms of recruitment in the Armed Forces for Sikkim as it was for the first time in the history of the state that the largest number of recruitments in various units of the Armed Forces could be done in a single year. It is informed that 800 plus young boys of the state have been enrolled in the Indian Army including those who have been recruited for Sikkim Scouts.
“We are slowly and steadily increasing the strength of Sikkimese youth in the armed forces to make the presence felt at the national level. It is our mission and we will continue to plan and organize larger recruitment rallies in 2014-15,” he added.
The Rajya Sainik Board has also decided to hold camps under the Border Area Development Programme at selected border villages of North, West and East districts to train the local youth for recruitment in the Armed Forces. He added that mock recruitment will be conducted in order to prepare the youth.
