Taking a significant decision today, the Union Cabinet chaired by PM Shri @narendramodi has approved a two-year ‘Second Tour of Duty’ for Agniveers under #Agnipath.
I sincerely thank PM Modi for taking the decision of additional 2-year ‘Second Tour of Duty’ for Agniveers under the Agnipath scheme. This would also provide enrollment of all willing Agniveers as regular soldiers after the tenure of 4/6 years, who meet the selection criteria.
This decision is continuation of long-term structural reforms of our defence forces, aimed at creating a younger, fitter, technologically equipped and future-ready military. It is not merely a recruitment policy; it is a way forward to prepare India's military for the changing character of warfare.

कैबिनेट ने सभी #अग्निवीरों के लिए भारतीय रक्षा बलों में शामिल होने का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया है। जैसा कि आप जानते हैं, योग्यता के आधार पर 25% अग्निवीरों को रक्षा बलों में शामिल किया जाएगा। पहले योजना के तहत शेष 75% अग्निवीरों के अनुशासित और प्रेरित युवाओं के रूप में नागरिक जीवन में लौटने का प्रावधान था। हालांकि, अब शेष 75% अग्निवीरों को योजना के तहत दो वर्ष की अतिरिक्त सेवा अवधि का अवसर दिया जाएगा। इस अवधि के पूरा होने पर, इच्छुक अग्निवीरों को वस्तुनिष्ठ चयन मानदंडों के आधार पर सशस्त्र बलों में शामिल किया जाएगा।

As you know, 25% of Agniveers will enrolled in the Forces, based on merit. Previously, the Scheme envisaged that 75% of Agniveers would transition back into civilian life as disciplined and motivated youth. However, the remaining 75% will now be given an extended engagement period of two years under the scheme. Upon completion of this period, all the willing Agniveers will be enrolled in the #ArmedForces, subject to objective selection criteria.
