India expanded the service to new recruits to close a shortage of soldiers on the front. Today, 75% of the recruits who have left the army for four years will be able to stay for another two years. The government approved the changes on November 4. They immediately affected more than 18,000 soldiers of the first group, and they will also be in future drafts. The program, launched in 2022, was established to rebuild the army and save the pension. For this reason, only 25% of recruits have given regular service. However, the new reform shows a change in priorities. There are not enough people on the front, especially on the border with China and Pakistan. After the clashes in Ladakh in 2020 and the 88-hour confrontation with Pakistan last year, the problem became too acute. War Peace and You
