A day after the Cabinet approved the Agnipath scheme for temporary recruitment to the armed forces, the Union Education Ministry said it would launch a three-year degree programme that will give credits to serving defence personnel who avail themselves of the scheme. The aim is to enhance the future career prospects of our Agniveers and equip them for various job roles in the civilian sector and recognise the skill training received by them during their defence tenure. The programme will be designed and executed by IGNOU, 50% of the credits required for the graduate degree will come from skills received under the Agnipath scheme, and the remaining 50% will come from a basket of courses that cover a wide variety of subjects like languages, economics, history, political science, public administration, sociology, mathematics, education, commerce, tourism, vocational studies, agriculture, environmental studies, English communication and astrology. IGNOU will enter into an MoU with the Army, the Navy and the Indian Air Force to offer the programme to their personnel.
