The Council of Ministers approved the Chhattisgarh Agniveer Soldiers (Reservation of Vacancies in Class\u2011III Posts in State Civil Services) Rules, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the new rule, Agniveers who have completed four years of service and possess a valid discharge certificate will receive 10 per cent reservation in recruitment for Constables in the Police Department, Forest Guards in the Forest and Climate Change Department, and Warders in the Jail Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move follows the announcement made by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai in the Legislative Assembly on July 26, 2024. The Government believes that the discipline, training and experience of Agniveers will greatly benefit the state police, forest and jail administrations while offering meaningful post\u2011service careers to these young soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same Cabinet meeting held at Mantralaya here, the Council of Ministers also decided to constitute a ministerial sub\u2011committee to ensure smooth and timely availability of fertilisers to farmers during the Kharif and Rabi seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deputy Chief Minister, who holds portfolios of Public Works, Public Health Engineering, Urban Administration &amp;amp; Development, has been appointed Chairperson of the sub\u2011committee. Cabinet Ministers from the Departments of Agriculture Development &amp;amp; Farmers\u2019 Welfare, Cooperation and Finance will serve as members, while the Agriculture Production Commissioner will act as the convener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sub\u2011committee will have the authority to invite officials, subject experts and representatives from relevant organisations to provide suggestions and recommendations on fertiliser supply, distribution and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These decisions reflect the state Government\u2019s commitment to supporting both the agricultural community and the welfare of Agniveer soldiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, The Chhattisgarh Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, on Wednesday approved a 10 per cent reservation for Agniveer soldiers in direct recruitment for various Class\u2011III posts in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3189,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chhattisgarh","category-display","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3188"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3190,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3188\/revisions\/3190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
