Amid protests over the new recruitment scheme for the armed forces, the Centre on Friday announced ten percent reservation for Agniveers in Defence Ministry jobs on Saturday.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved a proposal for Agniveers meeting requisite eligibility criteria.
“The 10% reservation will be implemented in the Indian Coast Guard and defence civilian posts, and all the 16 Defence Public Sector Undertakings. This reservation would be in addition to an existing reservation for ex-servicemen,” the Defence Ministry said.
The announcement came shortly after Singh held a meeting with the top brass of the Army, Navy, and the Air Force on the overall situation arising out of the rollout of the ‘Agnipath’ military recruitment scheme as protests against it intensified in multiple states.
