Current Affairs - State - Discussion

The Haryana government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has taken a progressive step by announcing a 20% reservation for Agniveers in state police jobs. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure job security and long-term welfare for Agniveers after their tenure under the Agnipath Scheme. With this move, Haryana has become the first state in India to offer such a reservation. The policy also includes additional measures like a dedicated registration portal, financial assistance for self-employment, and preferential treatment for gun licenses, thereby supporting Agniveers in reintegrating into civilian life successfully.
