New Delhi. The movement against the recruitment of Agniveers under the Agneepath scheme for the three wings of the army and those who heated politics with arson have received a slap. Opponents of the Agneepath scheme were constantly claiming that the youth would not want to join the army for just four years. This will put his career at stake, but from the figures that have come out now, it is clear that there is a lot of enthusiasm among the youth to become Agniveer through the Agneepath scheme. This enthusiasm of the youth has come to the fore in the matter of recruitment of firefighters in the Indian Air Force. The Indian Air Force has tweeted on Sunday that how many applications have come for the recruitment of 3000 Agniveers this time.

According to the data given by the Indian Air Force, he has received more than 50000 applications to become Agniveer in just 3 days. The number of online applications received till Sunday was 56960. Presently the application date is till 5th July. In such a situation, it is expected that lakhs of youth will come forward to become Agniveer in the Air Force. Whereas, all the opposition leaders were saying that the future of the youth would be ruined by the Agniveer scheme. The recruitment of Agniveers in the Air Force is out now. Whereas, from July 1, recruitment is to be done for Agniveers in the Army and Navy as well.
Through the Agneepath scheme, 25 percent of the soldiers who become Agniveer will be kept in the army even further. Apart from this, on retiring after 4 years, Agniveers will get about 12 lakh rupees. Apart from the state police, army, coast guard, the Defense Ministry will get them jobs in the private sectors. Army recruitment was halted for two years due to Corona. In such a situation, this time for Agniveers, the maximum age limit has been relaxed to 23 years by giving a relaxation of 2 years. By the way, only youth between 17 and a half to 21 years are to be taken under this scheme.
