Under Agnipath Scheme…
Ishita Shukla, the daughter of Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ravi Kishan, has joined the defence forces under the Agnipath scheme.
It was announced by the central government in the month of June last year to bring a change in the recruitment process of the armed forces.
The scheme aims to enrol youth who will be called 'Agniveers' for a service duration of four years.
Ravi Kishan has been sharing and thanking people who are posting the news about his daughter on Twitter.
The MP's daughter is 21 years old.
Twitter users congratulated Ravi Kishan and praised Ishita for choosing a different career path despite being the daughter of a celebrity.
"On one hand, many leaders of the country want to make their children leaders and make their future in politics, on the other, respectable @OfcRavikishann ji's daughter will serve the country by joining the army, I salute such a father," commented one user.
Congratulations to Ishita Shukla, on becoming a 'Female Agniveer'!
Now she will join Defence Force," said another.
