Army Says No To ‘Offensive Tattoo’ While Hiring Officers

0
indian army tattoos policy

Tattoos are a taboo for Army — it’s official now. The Army has decided to show zero tolerance to “offensive” tattoos during the selection of commissioned officers.

According to a new policy approved by the Army authorities, a candidate appearing for an interview for commissioned officer will have to fill a separate form giving complete details of tattoos on his body. If the tattoo is within the approved parameters and is cleared by the selection board, the candidate will have to file an affidavit that he would not have any more tattoos on his body before leaving for pre-commissioning training.

The Army had set the regulations on display of body tattoos for recruitment of jawans in July 2012, but this was not applicable for commissioned officers’ selection. The authorities have now come up with a clear policy on tattoos for the officers also.

Applicants with objectionable tattoos, defined by the Army in its policy notified in June, would be rejected at stage-I of the five-day selection process for commissioned officers.

As per the policy, a copy of which is with TOI, candidates belonging to tribal communities would be permitted to have permanent tattoos on any part of the body, provided they conform to the existing customs and traditions of the tribe to which a candidate belongs. For others, only small innocuous tattoos, that are not prejudicial to good order and military discipline, would be permitted.

The policy, however, has clarified that if an applicant has undergone tattoo removal surgery before appearing for the interview and the same has faded substantially, it will be treated as a “scar”.

The policy states that a candidate appearing before the services selection board (SSB) would be thoroughly screened for tattoos. A separate sheet would be prepared along with the dossier in which complete record of the tattoos on his body would be maintained. indian army tattoos policy

Scheduled tribe category candidates will have to submit a certificate signed by the deputy commissioner or sub-divisional magistrate prior to stage-I of the selection process, stating that their community permits permanent body tattoos.

General category candidates can have small innocuous tattoos on inner face of forearms — from inside of the elbow to the wrist of both the hands — which can be religious symbols or names of near and dear ones.

However, tattoos, which are offensive to modesty, decency or propriety and those that advocate a philosophy which demeans a person based on gender would not be permissible for all. Similarly, racist tattoos that advocate a philosophy that degrades or demeans a person based on race, ethnicity or region and religion would be prohibited for all categories.

The new policy has also stipulated that the selected candidates would be thoroughly examined before undergoing pre-commissioning training to ensure that they have not tattooed their body after the selection by the board.

In July 2012, army had clarified that candidates appearing for selection as jawans with limited and prescribed sized tattoos on inner parts of their arms or on the back of their palms will be eligible for selection. The size of the tattoo has been limited to 5cm in length and 3cm in breadth.

In the US, soldiers are allowed to tattoo their arms, legs and most parts of their bodies.

Soldiers’ Officer: Swine Flu Gets Colonel, But His Leadership Lives On

3
Col Vishnu Prasad

When the test of leadership came, Colonel Vishnu Prasad measured up.

The 38-year-old commanding officer of 12 Guards refused to report sick despite running high fever for several days during an exercise in Rajasthan as he wanted to be with his men. And when he was finally airlifted to a hospital, it was already too late.

Prasad died at a military hospital in Jodhpur on Thursday due to multiple organ failure caused by H1N1 swine flu, leaving behind wife Suchitra and a five-year-old daughter Pihu. The development comes weeks after Dhruv Yadav, a young major, was killed after being hit by a splinter during an exercise involving Arjun tanks at the Pokhran firing range in Rajasthan.Col Vishnu Prasad

Prasad, the oldest of four siblings, grew up in an Odisha hamlet near Bhubaneswar before joining the National Defence Academy at Khadakwasla. For those who knew him, Prasad’s decision to stay back with the troops at the cost of ignoring his own health hardly comes as a surprise.

“He was made of sterner stuff and the well-being of his troops was always at the top of his concerns. He was a soldier who never complained,” said an officer who served with Prasad for several years. The colonel was cremated with full military honours on Friday at Jaisalmer where his unit is based. His brother lit the pyre.

At the unit, Prasad would often work on Sundays of his own volition. “Pihu was the only one who could persuade him to skip office on Sundays,” recalled a family friend of the Prasads.

The colonel’s death has led the army to ramp up its efforts to stop the swine flu’s spread, as the Guards’ community remains in a state of shock and disbelief over losing one of its bright officers.

An Analysis Of Medical Rejection Of Women Cadets In The Indian Air Force

0
IAF women cadets fitness

Medical standards for entry into the Indian Air Force (IAF) as commissioned officers are predominantly the same for women candidates as that for males. The initial medical examination for such candidates is carried out at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM) and Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME). There has been no study on the causes of rejection of women candidates during their initial medical examination. This study was therefore carried out to analyze the initial medical examination of women candidates conducted at IAM. Medical records maintained at the Medical Evaluation Centre at the Institute were accessed to get the details of medical examination of women candidates from the year 1997to 2005. A total of 331 candidates (245 for ground duty and 86 for aircrew duty) underwent their initial medical examination at IAM during this period. An overall rejection rate of 55% for aircrew and 30% for ground duty candidates was observed. Differences were observed, both in the percentage of rejections and disabilities between aircrew and ground crew. While anthropometric incompatibilities like substandard leg length was the major cause of rejection among aircrew candidates, obesity and refractive errors were the major cause of rejection among ground crew candidates.

Disabilities among candidates for Indian Air Force

IAF women cadets fitness

Conclusion

While ophthalmic disabilities and obesity were the leading causes for unfitness among ground duty applicants, substandard anthropometric measurements and obesity were responsible for the highest rejections among aircrew applicants. No significant trend or pattern was noticed in the disabilities causing unfitness over the period of this study.

Obstacle in Digitisation

Obstacle-in-Digitization

As the dawn of digitization has raised the comfort level of humanity, it has again become a problem for the people. As we see around the world, the digitization is going on high rate and people prefer internet to stay connected to people rather than using other means. Government of many countries has emphasized on e-governance like India. But as every this made of benefit is somehow used by some dirty minds for bas purposes, it is also becoming a headache.

Cyber service which was invented to help the people is nowadays being used as a way to commit crimes. As per the recent reports, the rate of cyber crimes in India has been increased to 107%. Several cases of data theft, cyber bullying, network hacking etc. are the cause of headache in police and cybercrime cell. The report revealed that the rate of cybercrime in India in 2014 was almost double as compared to the last year. Mobile frauds are also a new target of the cyber thieves; about 30-40% of transactions takes place through mobile phones which is expected to reach 55-60% in the next few years. ASSCHAM has released and suggested some guidelines in order to make the network more secure.Obstacle-in-Digitization

On the other hand, the Supreme Court in its order in relation with Adhaar made the judgment that Adhaar card will be used in Jan Dhan Yojna, MGNREGA, pension and provident fund. The decision came after taking a wide range of points into concern. Like many cases of fake Adhaar card have been found. The void in his scheme has made it an unsafe to make it compatible in all sectors. The aim of its birth was to digitize subsidy distribution and digitizing the data (digitalizing India). The petitioner in case maintained that there is no safeguard for the data collected for the program which is a cause of concern for the violation of people’s privacy.

Developing nations like India, which are on the way to get digitized, need to focus more to secure it. With the introduction of android, that has became a part of life of the people, has made use of the internet more wide and led to dependency over technology. What India needs is the laws and more tough security crew to make the thinks keep going on safely. The vision of digital India mainly depends of digitization. Therefore, there is a need to secure the privacy of users and protection of ill mediums. The government’s proposal to make college campus and cities wifi integrated through hotspots, is a challenge and to increase in the online banking system, which is seen as a cybercrime prone field, online transactions and e-commerce have become more popular. So India needs to make its citizen more secure and must act in maintaining privacy of them. Swiss challenge, e-visa and many more are the good example of proper implementation of use of connectivity. Digitization a way of development but the reviewing it and focusing and eradicating its shortcomings is also an important phase of development.
