That’s not just policy. It’s a signal. Agniveers; those who served 4 years under the Agnipath scheme; are now eligible for police constable, forest guard, and jail warden roles in Chhattisgarh. Only those from the state, with discharge certificates, qualify. Why this matters: Most states are still figuring out how to absorb Agniveers post-service. Chhattisgarh didn’t wait. They created a real pathway; not just lip service. The rules were officially approved in July 2026, but the conversation started in 2024. That’s foresight. This isn’t about numbers alone; it’s about valuing service, even if it’s short-term. For job aspirants, especially ex-Agniveers, this is more than a reservation. It’s validation. And for other states? It’s a blueprint.
