Visakhapatnam: Central Reserve Protection Force (CRPF) is motivating youth from Maoist infested areas in Visakha agency to join paramilitary forces and serve the nation. In this regard, the CRPF 234th Battalion has been motivating unemployed youth to join the force and providing both physical and mental ability training to clear the exams.
Speaking to The Hans India, CRPF Commandant of 234th Battalion RS Balapurkar said in total 750 youth including 150 girls were selected from agency into various paramilitary forces. “We had alerted the young boys and girls about the examination and helped to file online forms too.
Clearing of the physical test is very important. So, we have been explaining the students about the physical requirements and the activities one should go through to clear the test. Educating the innocent people can largely help to eradicate the radical thoughts,” he added.
“Inculcating patriotism and nationalism among children from early stage is very important. So, we have been educating college students about the opportunities available in defence sector.
When the youth from remote areas where the Left-wing extremists have been radicalising the innocent and illiterate people to join the force, it will help to bring a change in the mentality of people. So, we have been directed to recruit more youth from such areas,” Balapurkar said.
Dr M Sai Sindhu, Medical Officer of 234 Battalion, said that various sports items, study materials, bicycles, umbrella, utensils and blankets were distributed in interior villages of Peddavalasa area.
About 465 tribals were benefited under the programme. Along with the distribution of items, a medical camp was also organised to provide relief to tribal people. Those who lost hope to living in the absence of treatment in that area got a bigger chance of living a long life, said Sindhu.
