No Shortage Of Officers In Indian Army | No Vacancies For Women And Engineering Students

By

November 7, 2015

With the latest notification of CDS 1 2016 Indian army has proved once again that they do not lack officers or maybe there is not much work in Indian army which women can do. This is quite contradictory to the Nari Shakti thingy happened on republic day few months back. Not only women, India army has reduced seats for men also, let’s see what is going on.

According to CDS 1 2016 notification, women seats are decreased from 11 to 5. So, as per the official notification total number of seats for women candidates every year through CDS exam is 10 because CDS exam is conducted twice every year. Just 10 seats every year !!!

No seats for women officers in Indian Army

There are so many deserving women candidates and they will fight for just 10 seats, which is quite funny because Indian army says they have a shortage of officers.

Let us assume that Indian army don’t want women officers and they have a shortage of men officers, but this is not the case, Indian army has reduced the vacancies through TGC and SSC technical entries. Indian army has increased the percentage cut off and removed many well-known engineering branches. Unlike earlier, Indian army is not considering branch equivalency which means If you are an “Electrical and Electronics” student you can not apply for TGC because only “Electrical” branch is eligible. Very funny.

No Seats for Engineers in Indian Army

In TGC 122 there were 20 – 30 different engineering stream eligible earlier, but in TGC 123 only 12 engineering branch are eligible and candidates other than these engineering branches are not eligible for TGC 123. Also, Indian army will not accept any branch equivalency as mentioned in the notification.

Earlier many candidates use to apply for TGC from different streams which get Indian army quality officers from a huge pool of candidates. But now only few engineering streams and most of these engineering streams are not available in private engineering colleges. So now candidates from IIT, NIT and other big colleges will join the Army. If you understand what we are trying to say!

Indian army is on the same track again, isn’t it the Delhi high court order in 2012 to fix the parity in engineering/technical degrees in India. The Center was asked by the Delhi High Court to set up a panel of experts who will be responsible for examine UGC recognized engineering degrees in various streams and decide an equality among them to facilitate Indian army aspirants.

PVC Inspirations: Captain Gurbachan Singh Salaria

Hello, Warriors! Captain Gurbachan Singh Salaria was born on 29th November 1935 in Gurdaspur, Punjab. He did his schooling from Banglore Military School, Banglore and later on shifting to the King George School, Jalandhar.

In his later adult age, he joined the National Defense Academy at Khadakwasla with the cadet number 1317 and got selected in the ‘Bravo’ squadron. Captain Gurbachan Singh Salaria was an epitome of leadership and valor. He was the sixth recipient of the highest gallantry award- the Param Vir Chakra that was accredited to him posthumously for his unflinching devotion to his duty and dauntless actions in preventing the Katangese rebels from trapping the UN headquarters in Elizabethville, Katanga.

On 5 December 1961, 3/1 Gorkha Rifles was ordered to clear up a roadblock established by the gendarmerie at a strategic roundabout at Elizatbethville, Katanga. The plan was that one company with two Swedish armoured cars would attack the position frontally and Captain Gurbachan Singh Salaria with two sections of Gorkhas and two Swedish armoured personnel carriers would advance towards this roadblock from the airfield to act as a cutting-off force.

Captain Salaria with his small force arrived at a distance of 1500 yards from the roadblock at approximately 1312 hours on 5 December and came under heavy automatic and small arms fire from an undetected enemy position dug in on his right flank. The enemy also had two armoured cars and about 90 men opposing Captain Salaria’s small force.

Captain Salaria appreciating that he had run into a subsidiary roadblock and ambush and that this enemy force might reinforce the strategic roundabout and thus jeopardise the main operation decided to remove this opposition. He led a charge with bayonets, khukris and grenades supported by a rocket launcher. In this gallant engagement, Captain Salaria killed 40 of the enemy and knocked out the two armoured cars. This unexpectedly bold action completely demoralized the enemy who fled despite his numerical superiority and protected positions.

Captain Salaria was wounded by a burst of automatic fire in his neck but continued to fight till he collapsed owing to profuse bleeding. Captain Salaria’s gallant action had prevented any movement of the enemy force towards the main battalion’s action at the roundabout. It had also, prevented the encirclement of UN Headquarters in Elizabethville. Captain Salaria subsequently died of his wounds.

Captain Salaria’s personal example, utter disregard for personal safety, and dauntless leadership inspired his small but gallant force of 26 Gorkhas to hold on to their position, dominate the enemy and inflict heavy casualties despite the enemy’s superiority in numbers and tactical position. Captain Salaria’s leadership, courage, unflinching devotion to duty and disregard for personal safety were in the best traditions of our Army for which he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra.
