Haryana Revises Ex-Agniveer Reservation Norms
The Haryana government has updated its rules for giving jobs to former Agniveers in government roles.
They have kept the total job quota at 20% but have now specified how this quota is divided among different groups.
For example, 2% is for Deprived Scheduled Castes, 2% for Other Scheduled Castes, and so on.
The remaining 9% is for the Unreserved category.
The government has asked all relevant departments to follow these new rules strictly.
Haryana government revised the implementation of its reservation policy for Ex-Agniveers in direct recruitment.
The overall 20% reservation quota remains unchanged, but now includes a specific category-wise distribution.
2% of the reservation is earmarked for Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC), 2% for Other Scheduled Castes (OSC), 3% for Backward Class-A (BC-A), 2% for Backward Class-B (BC-B), and 2% for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
The remaining 9% is allocated for the Unreserved category.
The Human Resources Department has directed all concerned authorities to ensure compliance with the revised instructions.
