People are retiring almost on daily basis. The number we\u2019re recruiting surpasses the number of personnel retiring.\u00a0 So, we\u2019re bridging the gap.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; This is 2020 Batch. As they are passing out, in no distant time, the 2021 Batch would come in, while the 2022 would stand by. So, by the time we go to the field with all these numbers, we would have shored up our number to a higher level,\u201d he said.
