BrahMos Aerospace announces reservations for Agniveers under Agnipath scheme

The defence company will allocate at least 15 percent of its technical and general administration vacancies across various work centres for Agniveers.

It also aims to fill at least 50 percent of security and administrative roles at outsourced work centres with Agniveers.

Furthermore, at least 15 percent of contractual positions through third-party staffing will be reserved for these candidates, based on their experience and qualifications.

BrahMos Aerospace will also encourage its industry partners to recruit Agniveers for at least 15 percent of positions related to the company within their organizations.

"The Agnipath Scheme was introduced by the Government of India, where young soldiers are recruited in all three branches of the Armed Forces for a period of four years. These soldiers will be trained in various aspects of the Indian Armed Forces, including general administration, security, and various technical areas. The soldiers coming out of the Agnipath scheme, well-trained, qualified, disciplined, and motivated through a rigorous selection and training process, therefore, if recruited in BAPL, in their respective fields, will be assets to the organisation," stated BrahMos Director Anil Misra.

This initiative addresses the need for additional manpower to meet increasing demand from both international markets and the Indian Armed Forces, the defence firm noted.
