The training should be identical like the regular training provided for the usual army recruits. It should be made mandatory for all the activities after school. Be it politics, higher education, professional sports, research and even spiritual studies. Nothing should be made progressive after the schooling without this specialised training.
On the whole, this training should be made as a platform for various multiple avenues in the country. During the training, the trainees could receive a payment, similar like the regular army recruits. After the completion of one-year training, those willing to serve the army can continue their term and choose more specialised trainings.

It would definitely shape everyone into robust individuals and healthy nation as well. Above all learning to be dutiful gives every individual the humility to respect others.
Few months back, General Deepak Kapoor, Chief of army staffs said that it was too alarming, as present youth are not driven towards serving the nation through the armed forces. The simple proposal of 'mandatory army training' - CONSCIPTION would undoubtedly act as springboard to meet such demands of the nation.

It is time that our advisors to the central education ministry look into this initiative more optimistically and devise out plans to implement spanking new schemes that are beneficial to both the individual and the nation in numerous ways.
