Agnipath changes apply only to serving Agniveers; new recruits still get four-year terms

Changes to the Agnipath scheme will apply only to Agniveers currently serving, while fresh recruits will continue to be engaged for four years. The source article notes that the first 25 per cent of each batch will still be moved into the regular cadre after completing that four-year term. This provision has been left unchanged under the revised arrangements. The report is based on a NDTV article and does not detail further specifics about the revisions.
