FIRST EVER NORTH BENGAL AGNIVEER RALLY DRAWS TO A CLOSE.

The first ever Agniveer Recruitment Rally of North Bengal under the Agnipath Scheme of Indian Army concluded at Sevoke Road Military Station, Siliguri yesterday.          

The rally which commenced on 29 Nov 2022 was organized by the Trishakti Corps in concert with civil administration of Jalpaiguri District and Army Recruiting Office, Siliguri.

The rally which was held after a gap of almost two years on account of the COVID pandemic received an enthusiastic response with more than two thousand youth of eight districts of North Bengal i.e Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, Uttar & Dakshin Dinajpur and Malda attending it each day. Long queues of young men braved the morning cold each day as they raced against the clock to clear the mandatory 1.6 KM run in five and a half minutes.

The Agnipath Scheme is a revolutionary and transformational Human Resources Management initiative of the Indian Army aimed at making it a future ready fighting force.

The candidates who cleared the screening during the rally will now appear for the Common Entrance Examination (CEE) scheduled to be held at Sevoke Road Military Station in Jan 2023, following which they will be despatched to their respective Training Centres and enrolled into the Indian Army.
