BrahMos is expanding the scope of this initiative beyond itself. It is also encouraging its industry partners to reserve 15 per cent of their workforce for Agniveers in roles tailored to the requirements of BrahMos Aerospace. Over 200 industry partners of BrahMos will be encouraged to provide opportunities to firefighters.
Why are you including Agniveer in BrahMos?Under the Agneepath scheme launched in 2022, young persons-Agniveers are being recruited into the armed forces for a tenure of four years. They receive training in military tactics and technical proficiency, among other skills. Explaining the reason behind the induction of Agniveers, BrahMos Aerospace CEO and MD Atul Dinkar Rane told private channel Firstpost that Agniveers will be trained and disciplined, and we will not have to spend resources on additional training.
Encouraging partner industries
BrahMos Deputy CEO Dr SK Joshi told Firstpost that more than 250 Indian defense industry personnel are part of Team BrahMos. He has expressed confidence in other Indian defense industries and corporate houses following the initiative taken by BrahMos.

Dr. Joshi said that we are looking forward to an overwhelming response from our Indian defense industry partners after the graduation of the first batch of Agniveers. Rane also explained about this in detail. He said that we are requesting all our vendors who are going to work with us, in terms of outsourcing all our security and manpower. We want at least 15 percent of their workforce to be firefighters. Atul Dinkar Rane said this would be a message to people planning to work with BrahMos to give Agniveer a chance too.
Reservation in other organizations
At present, Agniveers get 10 per cent reservation in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) which comes under the purview of the Home Ministry. If they want to enter any CAPF organization then they are also exempted from certain physical tests as compared to other candidates. In July, Haryana had announced a 10 percent quota for Agniveer in selected government jobs. The state government also announced that it will provide a subsidy of Rs 60,000 per year to industrial units providing firefighters with a monthly salary of more than Rs 30,000.
