I am very pleased and proud to see the zest of the ex- jawans of Betul Distt who have shown great sense of duty and responsibility towards the society even in difficult circumstances. In the wake of 1962, 1965 and 1971 wars it was felt that it is imperative to train today's youth for such unprecedented attacks. There have been numerous debates on need to have commercial, physical, yogic and sex education but the necessity of having military education remains sidelined even till date. Today's youth is aimless because of blindly aping the western culture. Therefore, military education is a must. It is not necessary that young men are taught about handling weapons, bombs and rifles but at least they must understand their primary role in natural calamities. It is not necessary that they have to fight in wars. Many a times there are inner conflicts within the country which is as devastating as a war. For example the Mumbai 26/11 terror attacks where the terrorists attacked various places. How to protect others and also defend oneself - remains unanswered. This can only come through military training. Ojhas Shikshan Prashikshan Sansthan has therefore decided to incorporate military training to students of classes 9" to 12". It will indeed be my pleasure to provide guidance to this prestigious institution.
