Center Owned by HT MediaReview of Agniveers’ performance behind service extension: CDS
What's behind this
The Centre's decision to extend Agniveer tenure by two years after an initial four-year period is described as a win‑win for forces and recruits, offering trained manpower and a chance for permanent absorption. The MoD says the scheme is not rolled back, with all eligible recruits to be absorbed after six years; 75% will receive a second two‑year engagement and seniority will be protected on absorption into the regular cadre. The Tribune notes that after the extension Agniveers may be allowed to marry during service.
