The JCO/NCO having much more experience than the officers in 70 percent cases, should be empowered so that they can control the fate of the officer cadre/ the men they command. As the powers are centralized in the hands of the officers, they take it for granted that they can do anything they wish to. The Army Orders, Army Instructions ,Army Rules, Army Regulations need to be reviewed first if the top brass really wishes to empower junior leaders.

There are many officer vacancies in the army to be filled in. However, there in no shotage of officers in the army. That not all the vacancies are really officer vacancies other than an administrative opinion. We successfully fought two wars between 1965 and 1971 with the same or higher shortage. I am Ex-Service with MA and Ph D college degrees. I think there is no shortage but a policy matter. Re structure of the army needed. Higher Educated men, train them for higher responsibilities, promote them to JCO ranks with higher resposibilities at earlier age and promote other ranks to officer cader if qualify. As the economy growing faster I do not think enough financial benefits can be gained by many highly educated intellectual in the military. When the economy was poor military bebefits were higher but no more. I know a 10 year computer engineer in the civil making about Rs300,000 month and enjoys the good civil life, after refused a military rank. In my case after higher college degree joined as Education Havildar and posted me far from home Kerala State about 3000 away at Line of Control border post in Kashmir at my handsome youth. And lived like an illetrate uneducated "Jangilee" there for 3.75 years for a tenure of 3 years. Had to stay 0.75 years more there on good team work with all and no one wants to prepare my movement order to new location. For my ability I would have been an officer but have had no administrative code. So I had no other choice but to leave. Another thought. There are many officer vacancies in the army to be filled in.
