Watch | Good news for Agniveers as Government extends tenure by two years under revised Agnipath scheme.
Chief of Defence Staff General N.S. Raja Subramani on Wednesday announced a two-year extension of tenure for Agniveers. The decision was taken by the Union Cabinet presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Under the revised scheme, the 75 per cent of Agniveers who were earlier set to exit the armed forces after four years will now be offered an additional engagement period of two years. This extension will be called the Second Tour of Duty.
Agniveers getting the two-year extension will also receive enhanced emoluments and higher Seva Nidhi package. After completing six years, all Agniveers will be eligible for induction into regular forces subject to objective selection criteria, opening a pathway to permanent enrolment.
