Uttar Pradesh approved a 20% horizontal reservation for ex-Agniveers in police recruitment, including positions like Constable, PAC, Mounted Constable, and Fireman. This decision, made on June 3, 2025, aims to facilitate the reintegration of youth trained under the Agneepath scheme into civil services, providing them with career opportunities after their four-year military tenure. The policy includes a 3-year age relaxation and applies within all existing reservation categories, reflecting the state government’s commitment to honouring the service of Agniveers and enhancing the police force with disciplined, trained personnel.
