Through such initiatives, the Agnimath scheme aims to enable soldiers under the scheme, called Agniveers, to pursue jobs and higher education across India. Pradhan further said that the education ministry is committed to supporting the Agnipath yojana.
Agnipath scheme has been launched by the centre for the recruitment of soldiers to the Indin armed forces such as the Indian Army, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force on a short-term contractual basis. This scheme has been launched with the aim to cut down the huge defence expenses towards the salary and pension of the officials of the armed forces and also to manage a youthful profile for the Indian armed forces.
