Agnipath Scheme

Indian military recruitment program

Agnipath Scheme is a tour of duty style scheme approved by the Government of India on 14 June 2022 and implemented in the country a few months later in September 2022, for recruitment of soldiers below the rank of commissioned officers into the three services of the armed forces. All recruits will be hired only for a four year period. Personnel recruited under this system are to be called Agniveers (transl.โ€‰Fire-Warriors), which will be a new military rank. The introduction of the scheme has been criticised for lack of consultation and public debate.
