Agniveer Army Rally 2025 is now the key way to join the Indian Army under the Agneepath scheme. Started with the goal to strengthen the Indian Armed Forces by recruiting skilled and disciplined youngsters, this program replaces earlier recruitment methods. From 2025 onwards, joining the Army is only possible through this scheme.
What is Agniveer Army Rally 2025?
Before the Agneepath scheme, joining the military meant committing at least 15 years of service to receive pension benefits. However, many soldiers retired yearly, causing a manpower shortage. To fix this, the Agneepath scheme was launched which recruits Agniveers, a new rank meaning “Fire-Warriors”. Agniveers serve for 4 years, with 3.5 years in field deployment and 6 months of training.
Recruitment will be held twice a year for the Indian Army and Air Force under this plan. During the 4 years, Agniveers receive several benefits including monthly salary, life and death insurance, and a payout of around 11 lakh rupees after completion.
Each year, up to 50,000 bharti (recruitments) will happen, and only 25% will be kept in the forces after the 4 years. Navy recruitment is also part of this scheme.
