When a user asked him what positions Mahindra will hire Agniveers in, the industrialist replied, “Large potential for employment of Agniveers in the Corporate Sector. With leadership, teamwork & physical training, agniveers provide market-ready professional solutions to industry, covering the full spectrum from operations to administration & supply chain management.” Meanwhile, as violent protests erupted across the country, the Centre offered additional job opportunities for Agniveers once they retire.
After four years of service in the armed services, the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) has decided to reserve 10% of openings in the central paramilitary forces and the Assam Rifles for ‘Agniveers,’ according to Union home minister Amit Shah. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh approved a proposal on Saturday to set aside 10% of vacancies in the defence ministry for ‘Agnivesers’ who match the required qualifications. Despite the protests, the government has ruled out any plan to roll back the scheme.
According to officials, the government banned 35 WhatsApp groups on Sunday for allegedly shared false information regarding the Agnipath military recruitment plan. Over 500 trains have been cancelled today (June 20) due to Bharat Bandh, which is protesting the government’s ‘Agnipath’ short-term military recruitment scheme. Arson and riots have caused huge damage to the trains. As of now, internet services remain shut in 20 districts. In Jharkhand, all schools will remain closed today.
