What's behind this
The Ministry of Defence said the Agniveer scheme will not be rolled back and that all eligible recruits will be absorbed after six years. About 75% of Agniveers will receive a second two‑year engagement and their seniority will be protected when they move into the regular cadre. Aspirants have welcomed the changes, noting the extended six‑year service, enhanced benefits and another chance for permanent enrollment.
