As Haryana gears up for the October 5 assembly elections, the #Agnipathscheme has emerged as a key issue in the state. Introduced on June 15, 2022, the #AgnipathYojana brought a major overhaul in the recruitment process for the armed forces. The scheme enlists soldiers, known as “Agniveers,” for a four-year term, with only 25% potentially offered permanent roles after their service.
Young aspirants have voiced their frustration claiming that the scheme replaces stable, long-term recruitment with short-term contracts, reducing job security and traditional benefits.
The scheme has also drawn criticism from several quarters, including key allies of the BJP within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) have voiced their concerns, calling for a review of the scheme.
Haryana, which earlier sent more than 10% of its population to the armed forces, has seen a gradual decline in applications over the past two years. To address these concerns, #Haryana Chief Minister #NayabSinghSaini announced a 10% horizontal reservation for Agniveers. The government has also introduced additional incentives and quotas in state jobs to create more opportunities for #Agniveers.

00:30The government's four-year ceasefire is completely wrong because the passion in children is no longer there.
00:42The children still have the passion to join the army, but it is permanent.
00:48If a four-year-old child joins the army, he is martyred there.
00:54So his family does not get any facility.
00:57There is no facility in the canteen.
01:00The salary is also very low.
01:02You get Rs. 21,000 on end, so the salary is very low.
01:05This should be removed.
01:07When a child joins the army, he thinks that he will come back in four years.
01:13He will not be able to train in weapons, nor will he be able to do physical training.
01:17Because only after four years will he know whether he will stay in the army or not.
01:23That is why the training is getting weak.
01:53When a child joins the army after four years, he is told that he will get a job and a 10% leave.
02:12The competition is so high, the training will be too high for them.
02:20This is a loss for all the children.
02:22The children have stopped working hard.
02:25Before, they wanted to go, but now they want to go to the army.
02:31That is why it should be permanent.
