The Odisha Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday accorded approval to the proposal to provide 10 per cent reservation and a three-year age relaxation besides exemption from physical test for ex-Agniveers in uniformed services.
The Cabinet approved the proposal for the framing of the Odisha ex-Agniveers (recruitment to Uniform Services) Rules, 2024 for job reservation in uniformed services of the State for Agniveers after completion of their service, Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja said.
The proposed rules aim to provide ample opportunities to ex-Agniveer in uniform services like Police, Forest, Excise, Fire or any services decided by the Government from time to time by providing 10 per cent horizontal reservation for ex-Agniveer in all Group “C” and “D” posts in direct recruitment in the Uniform Services of the State, a statement issued by the Government noted.
