Govt launches Agnipath military recruitment scheme

The Indian govt has introduced the Agnipath Military recruitment scheme, a 4-year tenure scheme for the defense troops.

The scheme will facilitate the induction of more troops for shorter-term tenures. The scheme has been planned and is being implemented by the Department of Military Affairs.

Under the scheme, candidates will join the defense forces and continue for a period of four years only. The scheme also aims to induct younger candidates.
