2026 ke aakhir tak jab Agnipath scheme ke pehle batch ke Agniveers apna 4-saal ka tenure complete karenge, Armed Forces ne unki retention rate badhane ka bada proposal rakha hai.
Abhi tak sabhi teeno seva — Army, Navy aur Air Force — mein sirf 25% Agniveers hi permanent cadre mein retain kiye jate the. Lekin ab Department of Military Affairs is number ko badha kar 70-75% tak le jaane par vichaar kar raha hai.
Navy ne sabse aggressive proposal diya hai — apne 75% Agniveers ko retain karne ka. Wahi Army aur Air Force ne around 50% retention ka target rakha hai, khaaskar technically demanding roles mein.
Iski wajah bhi saaf hai — pichhle teen saalon ke field experience se pata chala hai ki har baar 75% trained Agniveers ko chhod dena, especially technical departments mein, operationally kaafi nuksaandayak hai.
Iske alawa proposal mein Agniveers ke families ke liye lifetime financial support aur service-related disabilities ke liye lifelong medical cover jaisi baatein bhi shamil hain. Halaanki abhi tak koi final decision announce nahi hua hai, lekin October 2026 se pehle — jab pehla batch apna tenure poora karega — kuch bada faisla aane ki ummeed hai.
