10-20% reservation for firefighters in railway recruitment

Under the agreement between Indian Railways and Indian Army, retired firefighters and ex-army service men will be given re-employment opportunities. Railways has made a provision of 10 to 20 percent reservation for them in its various recruitments.

This decision is being considered as a big relief for the soldiers who have completed their service under Agniveer Scheme. This will give them a better chance to get permanent employment in the government sector and Railways will also benefit from their experience.
