increased in almost every part of the country and the cases of murder, loot and dacoity are also increasing day by day leading to feeling of insecurity in public life though the government is making every effort to provide adequate protection to its citizens yet it is not possible without the individual support almost all developing countries are providing for compulsory military training for their citizens but in india, there is not such provision for compulsory military training for their citizens the military training once imparted would provide quality of discipline and sacrifice in each individual besides the spirit of brotherhood and amity an integrated and a coordinated programme of military training would be immensely beneficial to utilize the synergies of our youth and would lead to their all-round development and enhancement of the welfare of the nationit is also felt that the military training should also be imparted to children who are studying in tenth class upto graduation level so that many students can join military and para-military forces with this in view, the bill seeks to provide for compulsory military training to all youthshence this billavinash  rai
