Defence Recruitment News: The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 14th June 2022 approved the transformative Agnipath scheme for the recruitment of youth in the Indian Armed Forces who after induction will be referred to as Agniveers. The Agnipath Scheme is a major defence policy reform in the Human Resource Policy of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

The Agnipath scheme aims at providing an opportunity to the patriotic and motivated youth with the ‘Josh’ and ‘Jazba’ to join the Armed Forces for a period of 4-years thereby infusing a transformational shift toward a more tech-savvy, youthful, and dynamic Armed Forces. The implementation of the scheme is expected to bring down the average age profile of the Indian Armed Forces by about 4 to 5 years.

The Agnipath Recruitment Scheme

In the new Agnipath Armed Forces recruitment scheme, the candidates will be selected for four (4) years only in three services of the Armed forces viz. Army, Navy and Air Force and they will be called ‘Agniveer’.

All of the recruited Agniveer will be de-mobiled after the four year period and 25% of them will be taken back to serve a full term of another 15 years. These four years will not be counted for pension benefits at the time of reiement.

It is proposed to recruit around 46000 youngsters in this new Agnipath recruitment scheme from the age of 17.5 (Seventeen and a Half) to 21 (Twenty One) years annually with a monthly salary of ₹30000-40000/- plus allowances. for the first year the consolidated package will be ₹30000/- per month, for second year ₹33000/- per month, ₹36500/- per month for the third year and ₹40000/- per month for the fourth year. Insurance and Medical covers will be provided as like the regular cadre of soldiers.

The present proposal in the Agnipath scheme is to retain 25% of demobilised troops but the final say in this regard is with the government.

The youth who will be de-mobilised in the scheme will be given 6 (Six) months of training to adapt to real-world situations outside of the armed force. 75% of Agniveers will be demobilised with an exit of the ‘Seva Nidhi’ package of ₹11.75 Lakh, partially funded by their monthly contributions, as well as skill certificates and a bank loan for help in their second careers. A diploma and a degree are being planned for recruits, besides skill training when they are released from the armed forces.
