The first batch of Agniveers will get an age relaxation of 5 years and subsequently, the age limit will be reduced to three years for the next batch.

10% reservation for Agniveers in CISF, BSF and CRPF 

The first batch of Agniveers will get an age relaxation of 5 years and subsequently, the age limit will be reduced to three years for the next batch.

The chiefs of CISF, BSF and CRPF on Thursday said 10 per cent posts of soldiers will be reserved in their respective forces for former Agniveers in line with a decision by the Union home ministry.
The remarks by CISF Director General Nina Singh, her BSF counterpart Nitin Agrawal and CRPF Director General Anish Dayal Singh came amid fresh spotlight on the Agnipath recruitment scheme for short-term induction of personnel in the Army, Navy and the Air Force.
"The Union Home Ministry has taken an important decision regarding the recruitment of ex-Agniveers. Accordingly, the CISF is also preparing the process of the recruitment of ex-Agniveer," Singh said.
The chief of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) said 10 per cent jobs will be reserved for ex-Agniveers in all future appointments of constables.
"In physical tests also, they will be given exemption along with the relaxation on the age. In the first year the age relaxation is for five five years and in the subsequent year, the age relaxation will be three years," she told DD News.
"Ex-Agniveer will be able to take advantage of this and the CISF will ensure that. This will be beneficial for the CISF too as the force will get trained and disciplined personnel," Singh said.
In June 2022, the government rolled out the Agnipath recruitment scheme with an aim to bring down the age profile of the three services.
The Agnipath scheme provides for recruiting youths between the age bracket of 17-and-half years and 21 for four years with a provision to retain 25 percent of them for 15 more years.
Several opposition parties including the Congress have been targeting the government over the scheme wondering what will happen to 75 percent of the Agniveers after their four-year tenure ends as only 25 per cent of the total recruits will be retained for 15 years.
Various central government agencies and departments have already announced plans to recruit former Agniveers.
"They got four years of experience. They are fully disciplined and trained personnel. This is very good for the BSF as we are getting trained soldiers. After short training, they will be deployed along the border," said Border Security Force director general Agrawal.
He said all the security forces will be benefitted by recruiting former Agniveers.
"We are waiting for them to be deployed after giving conversion training, they will be deployed. 10 percent of the total vacancies will be reserved for them," he said.
"There will be age relaxation for them as well. The first batch will get five years of age relaxation and the subsequent batches will get three years of age relaxation," he told DD News.
Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General Singh said all arrangements have been made in his force to recruit former Agniveers.
"The recruitment rules have been accordingly amended. A reservation of 10 percent has been made for ex-Agniveers. They will also get relaxation in age. The first batch will get five years of relaxation while it will be three years afterwards," he said.
Singh too said that there will be no physical efficiency test for the former Agniveers.
"This is a welcome step for the force to recruit ex-Agniveers as they are Army trained and have already served in the three services. They will bring dedication and discipline from day one," he said.
Director General of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Daljit Singh Chaudhary said a quota has been fixed for ex-Agniveers in his force.
"We have amended the recruitment rules accordingly. The first batch will be given an age relaxation of five years. And, there will be no physical efficiency test for them," he said.
A defence ministry official said that no physical test would be required for recruitment of the former Agniveers into the paramilitary forces as such tests have already been done by the Army.
They just will need a physical fitness certificate, he said.

Later Agniveer Ajay Singh's father purportedly said that even though Rajnath Singh has said the families of martyrs are given a compensation of Rs 1 crore, no such assistance has been received by his family.

Cong wants 'white paper' from Modi govt on Agnipath scheme, alleges 'discrimination' 

Later Agniveer Ajay Singh's father purportedly said that even though Rajnath Singh has said the families of martyrs are given a compensation of Rs 1 crore, no such assistance has been received by his family.

Amid a row over compensation to "Agniveer" martyrs, the Congress on Thursday said the government should bring a "white paper" on the Agnipath scheme for short-term military recruitment, so that the country gets to know the reality of the ground situation.
Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, Congress's ex-servicemen department chief Colonel (retired) Rohit Chaudhry claimed that the family of late "Agniveer" Ajay Singh from Punjab's Ludhiana has got only Rs 48 lakh from the Centre, while it has received Rs 1 crore from the Punjab government and Rs 50 lakh as insurance money from a private bank.
His remarks came a day after Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi alleged that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh "lied" in Parliament about the issue of compensation to the families of martyred Agniveers and demanded an apology for it.
Gandhi had also referred to a purported statement of Ajay Singh's father.
Ajay Singh's father purportedly said in a video shared by Gandhi on X that even though Rajnath Singh has said the families of martyrs have been given a compensation of Rs 1 crore, no such assistance has been received by his family.
The Indian Army, however, later rejected claims on social media that compensation has not been paid to the next of kin of Agniveer Ajay Singh, who lost his life in the line of duty, and said his family has already been given Rs 98.39 lakh of the due amount.
The total amount will be Rs 1.65 crore approximately, it said in the "clarification" that came after Gandhi shared the video on the microblogging platform.
Chaudhry said, "In Parliament, the defence minister gave incomplete information to the country, which created an atmosphere of doubt. As the main opposition, it is our responsibility to raise the issue of discrimination being carried out with the Army and Agniveers." "Rahul Gandhiji says there should be no discrimination with the soldiers and martyrs of the country. This is not just a matter of martyred Agniveer Ajay Singh, but of the 13 Agniveers who have been martyred so far," he said.
Chaudhry said the government should bring a "white paper" on the Agnipath scheme, the discrimination between Agniveers and regular soldiers and the assistance amount to be given to the families of martyrs.
He said if the Congress comes to power, it will scrap the Agnipath scheme, "Agniveers" will be made permanent, the old recruitment process in the armed forces will be restored and the 1.5 lakh youngsters, who were not taken into service despite selection, will be inducted in the forces.
Addressing the presser along with Chaudhry, Wing Commander (retired) Anuma Acharya alleged that the Narendra Modi government is bringing out half-truths, entangling them in technical intricacies and using the Additional Directorate General of Public Information's official X handle to mislead the people of the country. "We condemn this," she added.&nbsp;

20-yr-old woman Agniveer dies by 'suicide' at Navy hostel in Mumbai

A 20-year-old woman Agniveer from Kerala allegedly died by suicide at a Navy hostel in Mumbai.

A 20-year-old woman undergoing Agniveer training in the Indian Navy allegedly died by suicide by hanging herself in her hostel room at INS Hamla in Mumbai, police said on Tuesday.
The woman, hailing from Kerala, was undergoing training at the INS Hamla in the Malwani area in the western suburb of Malad, an official said.
She allegedly hung herself in her hostel room on Monday morning, he said.
While no suicide note was recovered from the spot, it appears the woman took the extreme step due to personal reasons, the official said.
The woman had been training at the facility for the last 15 days after completing her basic training, he said.
The police have registered an accidental death report (ADR) and further investigation is underway, the official added.
Agniveers are soldiers recruited by the armed forces under the Agnipath scheme, which was introduced in 2022.
