A year before the first batch of Agniveers retires from service, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been tasked with coordinating activities for “further progression” of Agniveers who complete their tenure in the armed forces under the Agnipath scheme.
A portal will also be launched to monitor the career prospects of Agniveers after they finish their short-term service.
A government source said that the MHA will coordinate with various Ministries and departments of Government of India and with State Governments to facilitate career progression of Agniveers. “After serving four years in armed forces, 75% of Agniveers will exit. For coordinating and monitoring further progression of ex-Agniveers, there will be an online portal,” the source added.
