The Chhattisgarh government has approved a 10% reservation for former Agni Veer personnel across selected central departments, aiming to integrate veterans into civil services.
The state cabinet of Chhattisgarh approved a policy that earmarks ten percent of vacancies in several key government departments for former Agni Veer personnel. The move is intended to recognize the service of these ex‑military members and facilitate their transition to civilian roles.
The reservation will apply to departments that are deemed critical for state administration, though the exact list of ministries has not been disclosed in the announcement. Officials said the scheme will be implemented through the existing recruitment channels, ensuring that eligible candidates are considered alongside other applicants.
The decision follows a broader trend among Indian states to provide preferential treatment to veterans, aiming to honor their contributions while addressing employment challenges faced by ex‑service members. The government has indicated that the policy will be reviewed periodically to assess its impact.
Stakeholders, including veteran associations, have welcomed the initiative, citing it as a step toward better integration of former defence personnel into the public sector. The implementation timeline and detailed eligibility criteria are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
