To assist the youth and contribute effectively in grooming and
moulding this young talent full of zeal and enthusiasm, units of the
Haflong Army brigade under RED SHIELD DIVISION, have undertaken an
initiative to motivate, assist and guide volunteer young men of the
district to join the Army and Assam Rifles.
Dima Hasao District (erstwhile NC Hills) of South Assam, has for
years borne the brunt of militancy and apathy in terms of development
projects and initiatives. As a result, the youth from the district have
not had exposure to and awareness of employment opportunities both
within the state and outside.
As part of the initiative the units established Help Desks at
Diyungmukh, Thaijuwari, Umrongso, Sangbar, Dihangi and Haflong to
provide a single window information on recruitment procedures into the
defence services. Interested young men are being interviewed, guided and
provided basic training to make them fit for the selection during the
various recruitment rallies being organised regularly by the Recruitment
Offices at Silchar, Shillong, Dimapur and Nagaon. Information
pertaining to the eligibility conditions, selection parameters, conduct
of the recruitment process and entrance examinations is provided to the
aspirants. These young men are also given a free medical checkup and are
thereafter given sustained guidance and training to prepare them for
the recruitment.
The units established Career Counselling and Guidance Cell which
screened and groomed more than 100 aspirants for the recruitment rally
at Nagaon from 19 to 28 Aug 11.
These initiatives, a first of their kind in the district have
generated tremendous confidence, enthusiasm and interest in the people
to join the defence services and are in consonance with the primary
interest of the Army and Assam Rifles in assisting the youth of the area
to become useful citizens of the Nation in this erstwhile militancy
affected district.
