Former Agniveers to Get 10 PC Quota in uniformed state services

Pune, Sep 30 (UNI) Former Agniveers who have completed four years of service in the armed forces will be eligible for 10 per cent horizontal reservation in Group-C uniformed services in Maharashtra, according to a decision by the state government.
Welcoming the decision, India Against Corruption ( IAC) national president Hemant Patil thanked Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the state government.
The reservation will cover uniformed posts in the police, State Reserve Police Force, prisons, fire services, Home Guards, state excise, forest department and municipal bodies, Patil said.
He said provisions would also be made for concessions in age limits and other recruitment requirements, besides exemptions from the written examination in the relevant recruitment process.
Patil said the move would enable the state to utilise the discipline, training, leadership skills and technical experience acquired by former Agniveers during their military service.
He also noted that the Centre has provided 50 per cent reservation for former Agniveers in Constable/Rifleman posts in the CAPFs and Assam Rifles, along with concessions in age and certain recruitment requirements. UNI SP CDS
