Hyderabad, Nov.13 (NSS): Dr Mallu Ravi, MP from Nagarkurnool constituency, has submitted a formal request to the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, for the establishment of an Army Selection Centre, NCC Training Centre, Auxiliary Defence Production Centre, and Skill Development Centre for Army recruitment in Nagarkurnool.
Dr Ravi emphasized the urgent need for these facilities to address the region’s socio-economic challenges, particularly the limited employment and skill development opportunities available to the youth. He highlighted that the establishment of these centres would support local employment, enhanced skills, and encourage youth participation in nation-building, aligning with the Government’s “Make in India” initiative.
The proposed centres include Army Selection Centre aiming to provide local youth an opportunity to join the Indian Army without long-distance travel, thereby increasing motivation and employment rates. NCC Training Centre intended to foster discipline, patriotism, and physical fitness among the youth, enhancing their readiness for defence careers.
Auxiliary Defence Production Centre: A small-scale production facility that would create direct employment and support local industries, contributing to economic development.
Skill Development Centre for Army Recruitment: Focused on training aspirants for recruitment exams, physical training, and related skills, addressing local employment needs and aligning youth aspirations with defence requirements.
Dr Ravi underscored that these facilities would uplift the socio-economic status of Nagarkurnool, empower its youth, and contribute to national progress. He expressed optimism that the Defence Ministry would consider the request, benefiting both the constituency and the country.
