Haryana government announces 10% reservation for Agniveers
Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on 17th July announced more benefits for Agniveers who complete their four-year stint in the armed forces.
The benefits include age relaxation in state public services recruitment, a horizontal reservation, and subsidy to industrial units that employ Agniveers.
Saini said, “The government will provide 5% horizontal reservation for Agniveers in direct recruitment to civil posts in Group C and 1% horizontal reservation in Group B.”
The announcement comes just a few months before Haryana goes for Assembly polls later this year.
