UP govt to give priority to 'Agniveers' in police recruitment 

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said that the state government will give priority to 'Agniveers' -- soldiers recruited in the Army, Navy and the Air Force on short-term contract under the special 'Agnipath' scheme -- in the recruitment of police and related services. 

The special 'Agnipath' scheme comes a day after Defence minister Rajnath Singh unveiled the 'Agnipath scheme' of short-term contractual recruitment, extending a maximum of four years, of soldiers in the tri-services that include the Army, the Navy and the Air force.

CM Yogi Adityanath tweeted, "@UPGovt will give priority to Agniveers in the (recruitment of) state police and related services after they serve Maa Bharti (country),” adding “The double-engine government of BJP is dedicated and committed for the upliftment of the youth and to secure their future. Jai Hind!"

Notably, CM Yogi Adityanath also praised the scheme and said it will create a ‘golden chapter’ in Indian military history.
