Ministry of home affairs to facilitate career progression of ex-Agniveers
NEW DELHI: Home ministry has officially been tasked with coordinating activities for further progression of ex-Agniveers with other central departments as well as with states.
A gazette notification issued by Cabinet secretariat Monday amended Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, to add a new entry no 19, 'coordinating activities for further progression of ex-Agniveers', under sub-heading 'department of states' and heading 'ministry of home affairs'.
"MHA will now coordinate with various ministries and departments of govt and also with state/UT govts to facilitate career progression of Agniveers," said an MHA official.
A dedicated online portal will be set up for the purpose.
Agniveers are signed up by defence forces for a four-year stint, after which 25% of them are absorbed and the remaining 75% demobilised. It is a conscious move on part of Centre and states to incentivise youths to choose a short career in the armed forces by offering them a long-term, follow-up career.
Hiring ex-Agniveers will benefit CAPFs and state forces since they will get trained personnel.
