Hamirpur, March 10 A major recruitment rally for recruiting ‘Agniveers’ is currently underway in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur, examining candidates in ground assessments, medical examinations, and document verification.

Around 500 candidates participated in the drive on the second day. Following the Indian Army’s guidelines, around 3,400 youth from Hamirpur, Bilaspur, and Una are also expected to participate.

Colonel Sridhar Rajan, ARO (Recruitment Officer) of Hamirpur, stated that the recruitment rally will be held from March 9 to 16, with the 17th being a reserve day. He added that approximately 4,000 candidates shortlisted through the Common Entrance Exam were invited for the rally. Tuesday is the second day.

He explained that the recruitment rally begins with a 1.6-kilometre run in the morning. This is followed by a physical examination, document verification, and interviews. Candidates who pass these tests proceed to the medical test, after which further procedures are initiated.

He further stated that there is considerable enthusiasm among the youth for the physical efficiency test, and added that Himachal Pradesh is a land of heroes, where soldiers from the state have previously received numerous gallantry awards.

“All candidates are urged to arrive at the recruitment site on time with their original documents and follow the guidelines issued by the Army,” he remarked.

Additional District Commissioner Abhishek Garg stated that the Agniveer recruitment is currently underway, organised by ARO Hamirpur for three districts, including Una, Bilaspur, and Hamirpur. He also visited and reviewed the ongoing recruitment drive.

The physical efficiency test is being conducted under the supervision of Army officers and includes a 1.6 km run, beam climbing, and other physical tests.

Following the medical examination of candidates who successfully pass the ground test, their documents are also being thoroughly scrutinised to ensure a completely transparent and fair recruitment process.
