Farmers protested the Centre’s Agnipath scheme on Friday, taking out a protest march to the district collector's office.
According to a statement, members of the United Kisan Morcha and the organizations supporting it submitted a memorandum to officials there.
The Centre had introduced the scheme last week, triggering protests across the country. The initiative aims at recruiting the youth aged between 17 and a half and 21 in the Army, Navy and Air Force on a four-year contract.
The statement said that the United Kisan Morcha had announced demonstrations in all districts of the state against the scheme.
The ruling Congress in the state has also announced protests in Rajasthan on June 27 against the scheme.
