Agnipath scheme , under which youth between 17.5 and 21 years would be inducted into the armed forces for a four year tenure, with ¼ to be
subsequently inducted into regular service.

The Agnipath scheme, announced on June 14, provides for the recruitment of youths in
the age bracket of 17-and-half to 21 years in the armed forces for only four years with a
provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years.

days, incidents of protesters vandalising railway stations, setting trains on fire and blocking roads and railway
