The Government of Chhattisgarh has announced a 10% reservation for Agniveers in the state's police and forest departments, a move aimed at easing the transition of ex‑armed forces personnel into civilian roles.
Agniveers, who have served in the Indian Army, Navy or Air Force, will now have a dedicated quota in recruitment drives for these departments.
The reservation is expected to be implemented in the upcoming recruitment cycles, providing a structured pathway for veterans to secure positions in law enforcement and forest protection services.
Officials said the policy aligns with the state's broader strategy to integrate former servicemen into public sector jobs and harness their discipline and training.
