Recruit more tribals in defence: CM to Antony

BHUBANESWAR: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today demanded creation of more job opportunities in the armed forces for tribal youths.

In a letter to Defence Minister AK Antony, Naveen said that more opportunities for jobs should be created to bring the tribal youths to the mainstream of society.

He suggested that more recruitment rallies of the Army should be organised in the tribal-dominated districts of the State.

Taking into account the physical attributes of the tribal youths, Naveen demanded that eligibility criteria on width of chest and height should also be relaxed.

Besides creating more employment opportunities for the tribal youths, this will help in the improvement of their socio-economic status, he said.
