Centre Revises Agnipath, Offers 2-Year Extension to 75%
The Centre has revised the Agnipath scheme, offering 75% of Agniveers a two-year extension. Opposition parties are attacking the move.
Context
Agnipath is a short-term recruitment scheme for the armed forces launched in 2022, where recruits called Agniveers serve for about four years. Most do not stay on after that, so extension offers matter to them.
