Haryana Cabinet on Saturday (October 10, 2026) approved amendments to the State’s Agniveer policy to facilitate the rehabilitation and gainful employment of Ex-Agniveers by recognising their training, discipline and skills for service in government departments.

“Under the approved amendments, Ex-Agniveers will be exempted from all types of examinations prescribed for direct recruitment to Group-C posts covered under the policy. They will be considered for direct appointment against advertised posts, subject to the prescribed reservation and other applicable recruitment provisions,” said Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who chaired the cabinet meeting.
