The government’s Agnipath construct is facing increased scrutiny and calls for review. While the government has yet to admit any mistakes, there is a growing willingness to consider changes. Pressure to reevaluate or even abandon the initiative has been fueled by public sentiment and electoral outcomes. A coalition partner has pledged to review the scheme in its manifesto, highlighting a need for introspection on governance practices. Those familiar with organizational dynamics recognize the importance of an unbiased assessment of Agnipath’s effectiveness and long-term implications. This shift towards openness to change marks a significant departure from previous attitudes of infallibility. It is a positive sign that the government is willing to acknowledge the need for improvement and adaptability in its policies.
