The Union Home Ministry introduced a significant policy change by increasing the reservation for ex-Agniveers in Group C (constable-level) posts of Central Armed Police Forces to 50%. This marks a major shift from the earlier 10% quota announced in 2022 and aims to address post-service employment concerns of Agniveers completing their four-year tenure. The enhanced 50% reservation is being implemented first in the Border Security Force and will be extended to other CAPFs through amended recruitment rules. The decision reflects adaptive policymaking in response to social, political, and employment-related feedback.
