ITANAGAR, 26 Aug: Governor BD Mishra suggested to Likabali-based 56 Infantry Division General Officer Commanding (GOC), Maj Gen Rajiv Ghai, to motivate the youths of Arunachal Pradesh to join the Indian armed forces “and also brief the intended candidates about the Agnipath scheme.”
He said this during a meeting with the GOC at the Raj Bhavan here on Friday.
Mishra also emphasised on pre-recruitment training for Arunachali youths.
