Ex-Agniveers Transition: From Armed Forces to Private Security

The Centre has directed all states and Union territories to facilitate the recruitment of ex-Agniveers into private security agencies, leveraging their armed forces experience. This initiative is part of the Agnipath scheme to ensure career progression for Agniveers completing their service with the armed forces.

The Centre has issued a directive to states and Union territories to recruit ex-Agniveers into private security agencies, tapping into their valuable armed forces experience, officials revealed on Tuesday.

A communication from the Ministry of Home Affairs was sent to all states and UTs, emphasizing career progression for ex-Agniveers post their armed forces tenure.

The Agnipath scheme, launched in June 2022, aims to lower the age profile of the three services while facilitating career transitions for Agniveers into key security roles.
