There is an increase in the number of people with engineering and technical qualifications joining the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) in the rank of constable, for which the required qualification is only a pass in the higher secondary, director general (DG) of the ITBP Surjeet Singh Deswal has said.
Attributing the increase in number of engineering colleges as reason for producing graduates joining the armed forces, Deswal, who was interacting with reporters here on Tuesday after the passing out parade of officers in the rank of assistant commandant (AC), said that they add to the strength of the force, as it is marching towards modernization. “Modernization is in terms of hardware and software. Qualified and skilled personnel will be instrumental here in strengthening the force,” he said.
According to him, recruits find a career in ITBP challenging compared to the jobs their degrees would fetch them. He also said that challenging works in ITBP are getting easier as stations in higher altitudes in the borders are being given focus by the central and state governments which are providing infrastructure such as laying roads.
This has made transportation of materials to those stations easy, he said and added that the ITBP is also equipped with high-end vehicles and all-terrain vehicles.
To a question on the difference in pay structure as claimed by ITBP personnel to their counterparts in the Indian Army, despite working under similar conditions, Deswal said, “They cannot be parallelly compared as there are advantages in the ITBP than Indian Army (on certain areas).” He added that the government and finance commission work on the pay and other benefits.
