The Uttarakhand government is going to prepare a concrete program to employ Agniveers for their secure future. This includes a proposal to give quota to the soldiers who have completed four years of Agniveer in the army to get recruited in Uttarakhand Police and other government departments of the state. Apart from this, preparations are also being made to implement the skill training scheme in the state, through which retired Agniveers will be given employment related training in many areas. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has instructed the officials to prepare a proposal in this regard as soon as possible. If necessary, a proposal can also be brought in the upcoming assembly session. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has instructed the officials to prepare a concrete plan so that the Agniveers who return after four years of army service do not remain apprehensive about their secure future. Dhami has said that Uttarakhand is a soldier-dominated state. The youth here are recruited in the Indian Army on a large scale. Therefore, the state government will leave no stone unturned in employing retired soldiers after completing four years of service in the army. The government wants that even after completing 4 years in the army, Agniveers should get ample opportunities for jobs and employment in the state. Retired Agniveers will be fully utilized in the service of the state so that along with their employment, they can also participate in the development of the state. The Sainik Welfare Department has started preparing a proposal in this regard.
Our government is working seriously on Agniveers
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, in an informal conversation with the media after the program organized on Canal Road, said about the adjustment of Agniveers that our government is working seriously in this direction. He said that I myself was born in a soldier family. When this scheme was introduced in the country, at that time also we had a meeting with many military officers of the state, army people, soldiers, who have spent their whole life in the army, and I had said in June 2022 itself that in all the departments working in our state, including the police, in whichever departments the Agniveers will come after serving the country, we will accommodate them in the departments, we will give them priority. The Chief Minister said that if there is a need to make a provision for reservation for Agniveers, then we will make a provision for reservation by taking a decision in the cabinet and if any act etc. has to be made, then we will definitely bring that too in the assembly.
