Though the pay pacakage is not the only reason for suicide, I strongly agree that they should get a salary of at least Rs.10,000/- In a metro city, an office attendant earns a salary upto Rs.6000/- or more. The freebies given to army personnel is a different issue. But the current cost of living definitely asks for a salary of Rs.10,000 minimum

yes...while an average salary is important, more than that, the working condition, environment of colleagues and seniors, encouragement, care, etc. are more important for the jawans who protect our borders day and night sacrificing their family and domestic life. It is because of their sacrifice that we are confortable wherever we are and able to shoot out messages like this in internet...

yes rock - having known the scale, it is the Jawan who opts for the job..right... Payscale is not the root cause for a jawan's ultimate action.... if that is so, a sensible person will throw away the job and come back to lead another life...

nobody is forcing anybody to join the military. it is ones own wish to join the military knowing very well the pay scale and living conditions. it is the stress, internal politics between the seniors and juniors, biased treatments on posting, holidays, leave etc. that is driving the jawans to take the extreme steps. Moreso, the posting in J&K is the most dangerous, vulnerable and under stringent conditions in which the jawans spend their days and nights.
