Centre Urges States to Facilitate Ex-Agniveers' Hiring by Private Security Firms

The government wants to help soldiers, called Agniveers, find jobs after their short service in the army ends.

These soldiers served for about four years.

The government has asked all states to encourage private security companies to hire these ex-Agniveers.

This is because a law called PSARA already says that companies should give preference to people who have served in the army.

Many government departments and some states are already planning to hire them or give them a certain number of job spots.

This is part of a plan to make sure Agniveers have a good future after their military service, with some being kept in the army for longer periods.
