5 Reasons Why Aspirants Are Crazy About Defence Forces

With the upcoming entries, I can see the eagerness amongst the candidates, with which they are waiting for the written exams and hoping to get a call for the SSB, to finally turn their dream of becoming an officer into reality.  I am sure, for those of you, who want to join the Armed Forces, from the core of your heart, this must be much more than a career. I have listed a few points below which I feel set Armed Forces apart, from being just a career option for you:

  1. You get all nostalgic: I know nostalgia isn’t the correct word to use here, but it’s difficult to define that feeling in any other word. I am talking about that feeling which you get when you see the picture of Passing Out Parades, candidates marching towards the ‘antim pag’, and stars being pinned on the shoulders. You feel a twitch in your stomach and you want to see yourself there.
  2. When you day dreams are longer than night dreams: You start imagining yourself as an officer as soon as you get SSB call letter. You begin to visualize how it would feel to go in the SSB, to hear your name in the recommended list and to finally go to the academy. You talk to your friends who are in academy and learn about their lifestyle, you read up on the internet about the training and what all happens there. Not only fancy, but you also work hard to realize your dreams.
  3. Rejections are harder: You never feel as bad when you get rejected from any other job interview, as you feel when you get rejected from here. You feel broken, and it feels like no other rejection would hurt as much as this does. You feel like going back and preparing in a better way, so that you never had to face the rejection in the first place.5 Reasons Why Aspirants Are Crazy About Defence Forces
  4. Still it makes you stronger: Yet even after the rejection, you never give up. You want to try again, and nothing can stop you. You may take up some other career option, still you wait for your SSB eagerly, and patiently prepare for it. As I say, “kya karein pyaar he bada hota hai fauj se!”It’s like the never say die attitude was meant to define you. Keep going, as you must have heard, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.
  5. It comes above all: I have friends who gave up on a lot of stuff just because they wanted to get into the Forces. Some gave up excellent job offers in foreign while some gave up their easy and comfortable life. A friend of mine, humorously puts that he wanted to get into defence, and his girlfriend asked him to choose between him and defence, so I asked him then what did you do, and he said, ‘I haven’t seen her after that’. Now he is an Army officer. So kuch bhi keh lo, pehla pyaar to fauj hi hota hai apna!

Finally, A New Artillery Gun For The Army

A few months after clearing critical trials, the Dhanush Artillery Guns — also called “Desi Bofors” — have entered the production phase to meet Army’s operational gap of field howitzers. The “Make in India” defence manufacturing project took off with the receipt of Bulk Production Clearance (BPC) from the Army for 144 Dhanush guns. Sources said the Ordnance Factories Board (OFB) has already started the production of indigenously manufactured 155 mm/45 calibre artillery gun.

OFB had been waiting for the BPC from the army to start production after Dhanush successfully passed evaluation by the Directorate General of Quality Assurance (DGQA) and the Maintainability Evaluation Trial.

Gun Carriage Factory, Jabalpur plans to supply 6 guns within 6 months, another 12 within 12 months and another 36 guns within 24 months.Dhanush-155mm-artillery-gun-indian-army

This was decided at the OFB’s General Managers’ strategic conference held last month. The decision raises questions about the Army’s plans to get all 144 guns from the OFB within three years.

Dhanush will be the first artillery gun to be acquired by the Army since the purchase of Bofors guns from Sweden in 1980s.

The current order for 144 guns is estimated to be of Rs 1,260 crore, with the Army having an option to acquire up to 414 guns based on operational performance. As per its Field Artillery Rationalisation Plan, Army needs to buy 2,820 artillery guns of various types to replace obsolete guns and equip new units.

Dhanush gun is based on the design and manufacturing technology obtained from Bofors in the 1980s. Under the original Bofors contract, India had obtained Transfer of Technology to manufacture 155mm guns after inducting 410 guns.

The ensuing Bofors corruption scandal, however, hit all such plans till those old schematics were brought out by the OFB in early 2011. OFB claims that the indigenous howitzer is better than the original Swedish gun in range, accuracy, reliability and ‘shoot-and-scoot’ capabilities. Bofors is a 155 mm/39 calibre gun whereas Dhanush is a 155 mm/45 calibre. The enhanced calibre imparts a longer firing range.

OFB is upgrading its manufacturing line for bulk production at Jabalpur Gun Carriage Factory from 2016, wherein it will be able to produce 30-35 guns every year. There are no plans for exporting Dhanush, sources in the OFB said.

How To Solve Situation Reaction Test In Short Time

Situation Reaction Test

Situation Reaction Test, which is a part of the psychological testing, is meant to test candidates’ natural reactions when they are put under some day-today situations. These situations are frequently related to routine life, although some situations may be peculiar or strange. The objective behind putting up the candidates in such situations is to test how quick and practical they are in responding to simple and adverse situations. An Armed Forces officer is expected to be quick, sensible and a pragmatist when it comes to taking decisions, because a lot of people depend on him and he is responsible for them. Candidates’ often complain that the time given to them in the psychological testing is very short, especially in the Situation Reaction Test where they have to solve 60 situations in duration of 30 minutes. A few of aspirants wanted to get a guide on how they can solve Situation Reaction Test in a short time. Here I have tried to provide them with a few tips, on the same:

  • The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war: Yes future soldier, this saying is true, not only for the training, but for getting selected for the training too. What I mean to say is that the more you practice before, the easier it’ll be for you to write fast in the Situation Reaction Test. Practicing before will help you to increase your writing speed, as well as think spontaneously. Thinking on the spur of the moment should come naturally to you, but if you have been through some kind of situation before (in your practice may be) it’ll help you.
  • Originality will save you: You may read up somebody’s reaction and think that they have written a commendable solution for it. What you don’t understand is that problems unlike solutions are not unique for each individual. So if you plan up your reactions, and try to think for an answer, you’ll end up wasting more time.Situation Reaction Test
  • Think on the spur of the moment: You need to be spontaneous, there is no other way. This is not something you can build up in a day. You need to change some major aspects of your personality in order to develop practical mind, try seeing everything around you from a realistic perspective, you need to come out of the nutshell and think out of the box.
  • Get into the situation: You need to get into the situation in order to think as per the situation wants you to. That is not possible if you are reading the situations just as a sentence, put yourself in the situation, and think what you will do, if you are in the situation, and then you’ll come up with fast and prompt responses.
  • Use correct English: Using English properly helps majorly in Situation Reaction Test. Instead of writing proper sentences, write using hyphens, commas, and semicolons. You’ll find this handy because in this way your grammar won’t go wrong and you’ll be able to finish off the things fast.
  • Quality matters over quantity: They want your proper actions and not just a one word reaction. So you need to answer in fitting way, instead of just writing half reactions. It is always good to do quality work than rush after increasing quantity of it. We advise the candidates to not leave reactions in between blank and skip to next reactions, however if you get stuck on one reaction then leave it and move on. Don’t rush after finishing too many of them, instead finish whatever you can in proper manner.

Difference Between SSB AFSB and NSB

SSB Bhopal

Difference Between SSB AFSB and NSB. Many candidates get confused between what is the difference between AFSB and SSB. For starters, you can consider that SSB and NSB are one and the same thing because they follow more or less the same procedure of selection. Though AFSB also follows the same procedure of selection, yet there is a little difference between how these procedures are carried out. One thing which is assured is that you need to possess the same kind of qualities in order to get selected in either of them. Let us see how these are different:

  1. The names: SSB stands for Service Selection Boards, these boards are meant for selecting candidates for Army and sometimes navy too. There are selection centers which have more than one board, all the Army boards fall under some or the other selection center, and two navy boards too are under the selection center. NSB is the name given to the standalone board of Navy. NSB stands for Naval Selection Board. AFSB is the abbreviation for Air Force Selection Board. There are in total five Air Fore Selection Boards, they are standalone selection boards for Air Force.
  2. Types of entries: In this section I’ll be telling you SSB for which entry is likely to be conducted in which board. In NSB generally the SSB for 10+2 B.Tech Cadet Entry is held, however, some naval direct entry SSB’s might also be conducted. In SSB’s entries for CDSE (for whom first preference is Army/Navy), 10+2 Technical Entry, NDA Entry (for whom first preference is Army/Navy), all Army specific entries and naval direct entries (in Navy board of SSB Selection Center), is held. In AFSB primarily SSB’s for AFCAT Entry, NCC entry for Air Force, NDA and CDSE (for those who give first preference as IAF) is conducted.SSB Bhopal
  3. Number of days spent at SSB: Generally for all boards the time is six days.
  4. Testing days: In SSB and NSB the reporting time is sometimes in morning or sometimes in evening, generally the first day, the day on which the candidate arrives is counted as day 0, and the procedure of testing begins the next day. In AFSB generally the reporting time is morning, and if it is morning the procedure of testing begins on the same day. However, if the reporting time is afternoon, the procedure might begin from the next day onwards.
  5. Based on the tests: The test and their procedure is totally the same in all the boards, be it SSB, NSB or AFSB. However, the time when the test is conducted might differ. For instance in AFSB the interviews start the next day after the psychological testing (in most cases) and in SSB, the interviews may start the same day itself. Similarly in AFSB you generally get a day off, when there is no test planned for the group. In AFSB you get a detailed information about the upcoming schedule, put up on the notice board, in SSB’s you are generally informed by the CHM.
  6. Batches: In AFSB and NSB there is always one batch at a time who are under testing, however in SSB’s multiples batches may be present at the same times, in the selection center premises. So this means that in AFSB there will be for example one AFCAT batch under testing and when the six days get over for them, the next batch arrives. In SSB selection centers there may be a batch of NDA, Women Entry as well as CDSE, all assigned to different board, but present together, due to multiple number of SSB boards in the selection center.
  7. PABT: If there are batches in SSB in whom they need to take PABT for any candidate (Example: Pilot/Observer entry of Navy) then after they are recommended they are sent to the nearest AFSB, as PABT is exclusive to AFSBs’). For AFSB candidates, the PABT might be conducted either on the second day (AFCAT Entry) or after recommendation, sixth day (NDA/CDSE Entry).
  8. Other tasks: There is not much difference between other tasks, except for the Individual Obstacle Course. In AFSBs’ we have different obstacle and in SSB and NSB we have different. You can read about this more on: https://ssbcrack.com/2013/09/individual-obstacles-in-army-airforce-ssb.html.

During the attack when enemy automatic fire from one of the sangars posed stiff opposition and stalled the column, Rifleman Sanjay Kumar realising the gravity of the situation and with utter disregard to his personal safety, charged at the enemy.

In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, he killed three of the intruders and was himself seriously injured. Despite his injuries, he charged on to the second sangar. Taken totally by surprise, the enemy left behind one Universal Machine Gun and started running.Story Of Rifleman Sanjay Kumar, Param Vir Chakra
Rifleman Sanjay Kumar picked up the UMG and killed the fleeing enemy. Although bleeding profusely, he refused to be evacuated. The brave action on his part motivated his comrades who taking no notice of the treacherous terrain charged on to the enemy and wrested the area Flat Top from them. Rifleman Sanjay Kumar displayed most conspicuous gallantry, cool courage and devotion to duty of an exceptionally high order in the face of the enemy and was awarded India’s highest gallantry award the Param Vir Chakra.

Which Needs Focus: Defense, Economy or Corruption?

Which Needs Focus Defense, Economy or Corruption

Which Needs Focus: Defense, Economy or Corruption? These days’ media is filled with lots off suggestions on the matter that out of Army and Defense, Economy and Eradicating Corruption, which sector must be given first priority. Well, all fields must be served together for proper development. But which field need more focus.

Army and Defense:

Secure Nation to Develop Better – Army has the most important role in the country’s status. Well, it is better to stay protected before going ahead. US, China and other countries have bold military powers. So we need to focus on securing nation first than any other thing.

Neighbors Strengthening Power – India’s close neighbors Pakistan and China, which are the top competitors for India are rapidly elaborating their arms and weapons. Emphasizing on defense production is needed as per the current scenario.

Fighting Terrorism – The terrorism has spread in the veins of our country . Now India need to be more cautious about the emerging terrorism and groups like ISIS, Tehrik –e-Taliban Pakistan and even the internal matters like Naxalism also need some attention to solve.

Old Weapons and Warheads to be Phased out – Many weapons, machines and warheads that India is operating currently are old enough to be released from their service. Some tanks like T-72 and aircraft carriers like MiG-21, MiG-27. Some projects are going on to renovate the arms and warheads, but need more to take India beyond the required level. Many replacements have been approved by Indian government and some are being developed like Arjun tanks, LAC Tejas, LCH, etc. But some more fund must be released to support their swift production.

 

Economy:

Lure More Investment for Country – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India ‘ and Digital India are a step ahead to lure the investment. But more similar projects  needed to pace up the economic development. FDI was a good step and has raised the zest of foreign companies.

Eradicate Poverty Tag – Poverty has always been a problem for India. About 1/3 of the total number of extreme poor in the world are in India. Employment generation and sufficient government support is required to overcome this problem.

About to Overcome China as Fastest Developing Economy– India’s economy is developing at such a rate that it will overcome china in terms of fastest developing economy. It need a little more focus to make it successful.

 

Eradicating Corruption:

Black Money – India’s black money issue has been a long and old matter, that is still to be solved. Government has done well in recovering that money. Recently India’s black money heap has gone down by 10%. And government has given last chance to the account holder to reveal black money assets. Focusing on it will surely give a positive outcome.

Burden of Scams and Scandals – Several scams and scandals have been reported till date. Some of them are hard to believe. CWG scam, Coal scam, etc.; even Army also got infected with it. Chopper scam , Adarsh scam and many more. Proper overview by government will avoid this money dumping and lead to productive use for country’s development.

Misuse of Public Money– A lot of public money is being misused and drained by some odd factors. The money should be used to develop the nation, but is now being used for personal benefit.

Improve India’s Corruption Index – Stats shows that India’s ranking is 85th out of 175 countries in corruption index. This is good, but need more to go on the top. The top place is occupied by Denmark. Well, it’s hard to reach the top in short time but improvement can be expected.

Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam – Inspiration for All

Abdul Kalam

“Failure is never the end”. All the aspirants who are a regular visitor of ssbcrack.com are either an experienced person or are about to face SSB in coming months. Well, it is a great thing to get recommended in first attempt. But somehow an aspirant has to face the failure. But it’s not the full stop. The group of aspirants who are conference out or recommended have heard the ending speech by any officer of SSB Team. They always support their statement with some examples like Shahrukh khan, APJ Abdul Kalam and many more in the list. Well, it was a truth that APJ Abdul Kalam, Missile Man of India, who was involved in launch vehicle technology and development of ballistic missile, was keen to join Indian Air Force as a pilot and touch the glorious sky.

APJ Abdul Kalam is now a famous personality and is known for the struggle, he did to climb up from the very bottom to the top of the zenith. There is a lack of motivation in the current generation. I suggest them to go through the life. ” My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions”, he revealed the incident that he faced. He got 2 chances to join Indian Air Force, one at AFSB Dehradun, and another at Directorate of Technical Development and Production (DTDP), Delhi.  After attending the interview, he realized that AFSB seek a certain kind of smartness along with your knowledge and educational qualification. As described by Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam, he bagged 9th position out of 25 candidates and failed as only 8 vacancies were there. That was a moment when he also got broke for a moment. But he didn’t stop at all.Abdul Kalam

The second phase of his life begun at DRDO, where he worked under Virkam Sarabhai, one of the great minds in space technology. And he also contributed his talent in the construction of India’s first indigenous satellite launch vehicle. AGNI and PRITHVI, the much-known missiles of India has a major contribution from APJ Abdul Kalam. Further, the presidency added prestige to his personality. He won the presidential elections in 2002 and became the 11th president of India and the 3rd president to have been honored with Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honors of India.

In actual words, he is the real motivation for all the aspirants preparing for SSB. He taught us the lesson to never give up and never compromise with our aim, even after facing few failures.

Serving nation not only means to have stars on your shoulder. If you have a seed of dedication, then you are a bit far from your Aim. So don’t give up and don’t feel that you are the only one to face the failures. No matter how big the obstacles are. Remember that an ant climbs the wall after tasting the failures several times.

“Dedicated people never need a path, they make their own ways to reach the destiny.”

Child Labor in India- Causes & Consequences

Child-Labor-in-India-Causes-And-Consequences

Child Labor is a global problem. India is one of the country which is highly affected from child labor. Children have to face the world and its bitter reality at a younger age, which not only affect them but also affect the country whose development is highly dependent on the young generation. Stats revealed that about 18% of 5-14 years old children are economically active Out of which 60% are in Asia. 

What are the Causes of Child Labor?

Increasing Population: India’s population has crossed the mark of one billion as per 2011 census and has been incrementing more till now. Parents having more than 2 children face many problems in their maintenance, education and providing basic facilities. This leads to the indulgence of children into laborious works.

Poverty: According to a report released by U.N. in Feb 2015, about 30 crore people still live in the extreme poor condition in India which accounts for 1/3rd of the total extreme poor people in the world. Poverty is the main reason behind child labor and is still a headache for Indian government. Ignorance from parents is also an out come from poverty and that leaves no choice for children.

Lack of Knowledge of Compulsory Education: Right to Education (RTE), enacted in 2009, and gives a provision of free and compulsory education to children of age between 6-14 years. But lack of awareness and knowledge of it, leads children to use this opportunity.Child-Labor-in-India-Causes-And-Consequences

What are the Negative Effects of Child Labor?

Effect on Health: According to WHO, 1/8th of the cases of child labor are of worst forms, which includes physical, mental or even moral well-being. The child labor is viral in various sectors. But agriculture sector has the maximum (70%) involvement of child labor. Handling dangerous tools and machines, using pesticides etc. can cause physical causality and as well as many sever disease to the children.

Harassment and Child Abuse: These days child abuse and harassment cases are also been seen with child labor. According to a study by Indian government released in 2007 about 20% of children in as labor have faced sexual abuse. Most of the cases of sexual cases occurs with the girls below 15.

Indulgence into Crime Field: Uneducated/ Unguided children who work in society sometimes get influenced by the criminal activities and commit crime at low age. Some cases of juvenile criminals have been reported in India and its increase is also observed in India. 

Steps to Overcome the Problem

Child Labor Laws: Indian government has done a great job in attempt to overcome the child labor. Factory Act, Mines Act, Child Labor (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, Right to free and Compulsory Education Act were framed to safeguard the children from laborious tasks and helping them to rise.

Awareness: Parents must be given awareness about child abuse and bad effects of child labor. This will bring change in the society and minimize the cases of child labor. Many NGOs are working in this field and need support from government to aware more people specifically the poor people living in villages or slum areas.

Social Alertness: Society must pay attention about the child labor going on in cities, factories or shops. They must report the cases to the police. It is a social antiquate to stop child labor running in your society and supporting those children toward education field.

Conclusion

Child Labor is a menace and an obstacle in India’s development. New generation is the base of development of a developing country and as India is going on a wrong path, it must be directed to the right one.
