The companies were also told that the skills acquired by Agniveers during their association with the Armed Forces would help them create a highly competent and professional workforce. His experience will not only be useful, especially for companies in the defense industry but will also be readily available. According to the Defense Ministry, during the discussions, senior representatives of defense companies committed their continued support to the initiative. Along with this, he also expressed his eagerness to give jobs to the first batch of Agniveers i.e. Ex-Agniveers, who came out after completing their tenure in the three services, in their institutions and assured the Defense Secretary that based on available skill potential, the reservation of ex-Agniveers would be done. Suitable provisions will be made in their recruitment policies for the same.

 

During the discussion, some suggestions were also given to increase the skill potential of Agniveers as per the requirements of the defense industry. After this positive attitude of the companies, the Defense Secretary also urged the Indian defense manufacturers to make a policy announcement as soon as possible regarding the special quota of Agniveers under their corporate recruitment plans in line with this commitment. It may be known that under the new scheme of Agneepath, the process of new recruitment has now started in the form of Agniveer in all the three forces and the recruitment process of its first batch is going to be completed soon.
