The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force.

The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
