India, July 6 -- The Central Government is considering retaining a larger number of Agniveers for regular service in the armed forces, with the first batch set to complete its four-year tenure next year.

According to an Indian Express report, all three services - the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force - have submitted proposals seeking to retain more than 25 per cent of Agniveers after they complete four years of service. Among the three, the Navy has sought the highest retention rate, proposing that 75 per cent of Agniveers be absorbed into regular service. The Army and the Air Force have reportedly proposed increasing the retention rate from 25 per cent to 50 per cent.
