Uttarakhand Establishes Employment Cell and Welfare Measures for Agniveers
Uttarakhand has become the first Indian state to establish a dedicated Employment Cell for Agniveers, soldiers who complete four years of service, to assist them in securing jobs. Under Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's leadership, the state government has prioritized soldiers' welfare by introducing 10% reservation for Agniveers in government jobs, increasing ex-gratia payments for martyrs' families, and planning to install statues honoring martyrs. The government is also nearing completion of Sainya Dham in Dehradun as a tribute to armed forces personnel.
