Uttarakhand is set to launch India's first 'Agniveer Employment Cell' to support skill development, employment, and guidance for Agniveers. The initiative aims to offer opportunities in both government and private sectors while honoring the dedication of soldiers in national defense.

In a groundbreaking initiative, the Uttarakhand government, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, announced the establishment of India's first 'Agniveer Employment Cell'. This innovative platform is designed to coordinate skill development, provide guidance, and create employment opportunities for Agniveers across the state.

Additionally, the state has implemented a 10 percent reservation in state services for Agniveers.

Addressing the Yuva Agniveer Samvad Programme, CM Dhami outlined plans to empower returning Agniveers with both government service and self-employment opportunities. He highlighted the provision of special grants and priority benefits to support their transition into self-reliance and job creation.
