Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Approves 20% Reservation for Agniveers in Uniformed Services
The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, approved a 20% reservation for Agniveers—recruits under the Centre's Agnipath scheme—in various uniformed services including police, Special Armed Forces, prison, forest, and excise departments. Additionally, 5% and 10% reservations were allocated for ex-servicemen and home guards, respectively. The decision aims to empower youth and follows past regional protests against the Agnipath scheme. The Cabinet also sanctioned development projects worth over ₹24,500 crore across the state.
