Acute Shortage of Jawans

There is no significant shortage of Personnel Below Officers Rank (PBORs) and Airmen in Army and Air Force respectively. However, there is a more significant shortage of such personnel in Navy.

The needs of security are being met by the optimum utilization of the available strength by prioritization of activities, use of technology and reliance on the high motivation of the personnel.

Recruitment has been increased to address the shortage of sailors in Navy. Induction plans in respect of all Branches/Trades of sailors have been made taking into consideration the training capacity of ab-initio and downstream training institutions.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Kaptan Singh Solanki in Rajya Sabha today.
