Today we will talk about the Agneepath scheme announced by the central government. Under this, youth will be recruited in all three wings of the Indian Army i.e. Navy, Army, and Air Force, so that the number of youth in the army can be increased and the average age of the Indian Army can be reduced. The youth recruited under the “Agneepath” scheme will be named “Agniveer” as well as another category “Agneeveer Technical” which is specially designed keeping in mind the youth who have studied ITI and Diploma. This time the Indian Army is recruiting youth doing ITI specialized courses, so that new technical staff can be trained quickly.

Under the Agniveer scheme, Agniveers will be recruited into the army for a fixed period of 4 years, in which they will also be given 6 months of training. But the youth who are looking for job and training opportunities after ITI or diploma or want to do an apprenticeship, then you can not get a better opportunity than this at the beginning of your career.
