What is the Agneepath Scheme?

 The Agneepath scheme is a public-interest and ambitious scheme run by the government of India. Under which the government will now appoint soldiers to the armies only for 4 years. After that, he will be retired from the army. The candidates who get selected under the scheme will be called Agniveer. They will be given 6 months of basic training here and only then will they be able to be appointed to the posts of agniveer. Every year, 46,000 people will be recruited as agniveer in the Indian Army under the Agneepath scheme.

The main objective of the Agneepath scheme:-The main objective of the scheme is to cut the army’s expenditure. The government can spend money well in the second type of scheme. Apart from this, the government has also operated this scheme to reduce the problem of unemployment that is increasing in the country. So that more and more young people and girls can get employment. The age limit for joining the army under the Agneepath scheme has been revised and increased. Earlier, this age was only from 17.5 years to 21 years, but now it has been increased from 17.5 to 23 years.

Age Limit of the Agneepath Scheme:-The age limit has been fixed at 17.5 years, with a maximum age of 23 years. On getting selected as an Agniveer, the candidates will be given 10 weeks to 6 months of training here.

Eligibility for the Agneepath Scheme:To get selected in agneepath scheme, candidates must have 10th and 12th degrees. Only then will he be able to apply for the Agniveer posts, where the medical standards will be the same as those set by the government for recruitment in the army. No change has been made in this.

What will happen after 4 years of Agniveers? Most of the eligible candidates who will be selected as Agni Veer in the Indian Army will be retired from the army after 4 years. After this, the government will issue them a certificate by which they can easily apply for work in other types of the private or corporate world. In some states, the state governments have also announced that such Agni Veer will be given first priority in the police service. However, the government has also indicated that 25% of the agniveers, who are being appointed for 4 years, will be re-employed in the army. Only if the notification for recruitment in the army is issued by the government then.

The Selection Process under the Agneepath Scheme: Under agneepath , the appointment of Agni Veers will be done through army rallies. These rallies will be organized across the country at an interval of 90 days, and on the basis of that, they will be selected into the Indian Army. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, no army rally has been organized in India for the last 2 years, so very soon it will be organized across the country.
