The Rajasthan Government will provide reservation for Agniveers in the recruitment of jail and forest guards and state police, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said. A statement from the Chief Minister’s Office on Saturday said Sharma made the announcement on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas (July 26).
“The state government has made a provision of reservation in state police, jail guard and forest guard recruitments for the Agniveers who protect the country’s borders with a sense of dedication and patriotism,” it said.
“With this decision of the state government under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Agniveers will get an opportunity to work in the state after serving the country,” the statement quoted Sharma as saying.
However, the percentage of reservation for Angiveers was not disclosed.
