"As per the terms of engagement of Agniveers, emoluments authorised to a deceased battle casualty will comprise : Non-contributory insurance sum, amounting to Rs 48 lakh. Seva Nidhi contributed by the Agniveer (30%), with an equal matching contribution by the Govt, and interest thereon. Ex-gratia of Rs 44 lakh. Pay of balance tenure from the date of death till the completion of four years (more than Rs 13 lakh in the instant case). Contribution of Rs 8 lakh from the Armed Forces Battle Casualty Fund.

Delhi High Court on Agniveer military recruitment: petitions challenging Agnipath scheme dismissed

A two-judge bench said that it found no reason to interfere with the scheme.

The Delhi High Court on 27 February 2023 dismissed petitions challenging the Narendra Modi government's Agnipath scheme for military recruitment.
The court reportedly said that the scheme for Agniveer recruitment was introduced in national interest, and to ensure that the armed forces are better equipped.
A two-judge bench said that it found no reason to interfere with the scheme.
The Agnipath recruitment system was unveiled in June 2022, to recruit those aged between 17-and-a-half and 23 years, for an initial tenure of 4 years.

Modi govt offers more perks to Agniveers after exit from army: all details here

Agniveers or recruits under the Centre's Agnipath scheme will get 10 percent horizontal reservation in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and Assam Rifles alongwith a relaxation in the upper-age limit and exemption from the physical efficiency test while recruiting for the posts of Constables and Rifleman. 


At present, there is vertical and horizontal reservation in all paramilitary forces for candidates from Scheduled Castes at 15%, Scheduled Tribes at 7.5%, Other Backward Classes at 27%, Economically Weaker Sections at 10%, and ex-servicemen at 10%.

Agniveers or recruits under the Centre's Agnipath scheme will get 10 percent horizontal reservation in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and Assam Rifles alongwith a relaxation in the upper age limit and exemption from the physical efficiency test while recruiting for the posts of Constables and Rifleman.&nbsp;
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday while responding to a question by MP John Brittas. Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said in a written reply that &ldquo;an in-principle approval has been given for reservation of 10% of vacancies for ex-Agniveers in the recruitment to the post of Constable (General Duty)/Rifleman in the Central Armed Police Forces and Assam Rifles.&rdquo; &nbsp;
He further said, &ldquo;10% horizontal reservation is decided to be given to Ex-Agniveers for the post of Constable(GD)/Rifleman when the first batch of Ex-Agniveers is available for recruitment after completing engagement period of four years in Defence Forces.&rdquo;&nbsp;
At present, there is a provision for vertical and horizontal reservation in openings in all paramilitary forces with conditions for candidates from Scheduled Castes at 15 percent, Scheduled Tribes at 7.5 percent, Other Backward Classes at 27 percent, Economically Weaker Sections at 10 percent, and ex-servicemen at 10 percent.
Under vertical reservation, candidates from SC, ST, and OBC are covered, and ex-servicemen get horizontal reservation. While horizontal reservation cuts across the vertical, the latter can&rsquo;t be interlocked.&nbsp;
While Agniveers will be eligible for horizontal, their reservation will also cover all classes in addition to their service in the armed forces.

RPG Enterprises chief Harsh Goenka took to Twitter to show support for the armed forces and extend job opportunities for Agniveer. 
Goenka while highlighting Anand Mahindra's tweet wrote “The RPG group too welcomes the opportunity to employ the Agniveers. I do hope other corporates will also join us to take this pledge and assure our youths of a future.”
Anand Mahindra said the Mahindra Group will employ these Agniveers. He wrote, “Saddened by the violence around the Agneepath program. When the scheme was mooted last year I stated- and I repeat-the discipline and skills Agniveers gain will make them eminently employable. The Mahindra Group welcomes the opportunity to recruit such trained, capable young people.”

Hundreds of young people on Thursday took to the streets in Haryana's Gurugram, Rewari and Palwal against the Agnipath scheme for recruitment to defence services, with protesters blocking highways.
A police vehicle was damaged in stone pelting in Palwal and the Agra Chowk on National Highway 19 was blocked.
In Gurugram's Bilaspur and Sidhrawali, protesters laid a virtual seize on bus stands and roads and held a protest at Bilaspur Chowk, crippling traffic on the Gurugram-Jaipur highway.
Heavy police force was rushed to these spots to curb the protests against the new scheme to recruit jawans into the army, the navy and the air force for a four-year-period followed by compulsory retirement for most without gratuity and pension benefits.
"Due to a local protest, traffic is diverted at Bilaspur Chowk (NH-48). All commuters using this route are requested to take alternative routes," Gurugram traffic police said in an advisory.
"Our traffic officials are on the job and ensuring that there is no major congestion. Diversions have been made as and where required," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Ravinder Singh Tomar said.

Meanwhile, the protest at Hodal came to end after two hours of blockade.
Ex-soldier and senior Congress leader Captain Ajay Yadav in a statement said that the scheme is aimed to demean the spirit of forces and cut down on benefits being given to army jawans.
"Army is not profession but passion and life. Our districts like Rewari send their sons to serve the nation every year and this demeans their passion. Over four lakh posts are vacant in the army and this cheap attempt to compensate them with small contract employment is unacceptable," Yadav said.
