Agniveer: Reservation for Agniveer and retired army personnel in Indian Railway recruitment, plan ready to provide re-employment..
Agniveer: Indian Railways has given a significant gift to Agniveers and soldiers serving in the Indian Army. Now, Agniveers and retired Indian Army personnel will receive reservations in the Indian Railway recruitment. Preparations for this have been completed. In this regard, an agreement has been reached between the Indian Railways and the Indian Army, called the Framework of Cooperation. Under this framework, a system will be developed that will allow retired Agniveers and ex-servicemen (Army) to receive reservations in Indian Railway recruitment, enabling them to be re-employed.
Let's find out how much reservation Agniveers and retired Army personnel will receive in the Indian Railway recruitment. For example, we will find out which posts the Indian Railways is planning to recruit Agniveers and retired Army personnel for.
10 to 20 percent reservation
Indian Railways will provide 10 to 20 percent reservation to retired Agniveers and ex-Army servicemen in all Level 1 and Level 2 recruitments and above. Let's understand how many reservations are available for which post.
Level-1 Recruitment:
20 percent reservation for veterans, 10 percent reservation for former Agniveers
Level-2 and above Recruitment:
10 percent reservation for veterans
5 percent reservation for former Agniveers
5,000 Pointsmen to be recruited, positions to be filled by retired personnel
Indian Railways will soon recruit over 5,000 Pointsmen. Importantly, the Indian Railways has decided to fill all these Pointsmen positions with retired Agniveers and ex-army personnel. However, the recruitment of retired personnel for Pointsmen positions will be on a contract basis. Nine zones of the Indian Railways have reached an agreement with the Indian Army regarding this.
The first batch of Agniveers will retire at the end of this year.
The first batch of soldiers recruited under the Agnipath Seva Yojana (Fire Warriors) in the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force will retire at the end of this year, in 2026. The Agnipath Seva Yojana (Fire Warriors) was originally launched in 2022 and allows Agniveers to serve for only four years. Consequently, a plan is underway to reintegrate long-retired Agniveers into service. Several states and departments have already announced reservations for them.
