The Maharashtra government has formed a study group to recommend rehabilitation measures for Agniveers. The State government yesterday decided to appoint a study group to suggest measures for the rehabilitation of Agniveers who will complete their four-year stint in the Indian Armed Forces this year. The group will submit its report within three months.
The panel, led by Colonel (Retd) Deepak Thonge, will explore opportunities in government, semi-government, and private sectors, as well as training and financial assistance for self-employment.
The group will examine three key areas: employment opportunities in state and semi-government services, prospects in the private sector, along with training requirements, and financial assistance for self-employment.
The first batch of 2,839 Agniveers will complete their four-year service in October-November this year.
As 25 per cent of them will be regularised into the Armed Forces, the remaining 75 per cent will need to be absorbed into government or semi-government services such as the police, forest department, fire brigade, or the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF), according to a government resolution (GR) issued by the General Administration Department (GAD).
