A 12-day recruitment rally under Agnipath scheme has started at the Motilal Nehru Stadium in Bhopal on Thursday. About 44000 candidates from Bhopal and surrounding districts will try their luck at the Lal Parade ground. 'Agniveers' will be enrolled for a service duration of 4 years including the training period. After four years, only 25 per cent of the Agniveers will be retained or re-enlisted in the regular cadre based on merit, willingness and medical fitness.
