Government Considers Extending Agniveer Service Tenure Beyond Four Years
The Indian government is considering extending the four-year service tenure of Agniveers recruited under the Agnipath scheme by an additional two years. This proposal, expected to be announced before November 21, aims to allow some personnel beyond those selected for permanent absorption to continue serving. The first batch of Agniveers in the Navy, Air Force, and Army is nearing completion of their initial tenure. Details on the number of beneficiaries, extension duration, and selection criteria remain undecided.
