Govt extends upper age limit for Agnipath recruitment scheme from 21 to 23 years
- The age waiver will be given only "one time" for the proposed recruitment cycle for 2022, informed the Defence Ministry.
- The decision has been taken as no recruitment had taken place in the last 2 years.
- Govt has said that agniveers will be given priority in the recruitment of Central Armed Police Forces and State Police.
- There is a misconception that the future of Agniveers is insecure.
