Thousands of ex-servicemen and youths who came to participate in the Agniveer recruitment process were also present during this time. On this occasion, the families of the martyrs were also honoured.

Dhami, who referred to Uttarakhand as a “Veer Bhoomi,” said that the “Agneepath” Scheme would provide the nation with disciplined, patriotic youth who would lay the foundation for a new India.

According to the Chief Minister, the government has decided that youth serving in the army under the ‘Agneepath’ scheme will be given priority in government jobs after retirement. They will be given priority appointments in the police, fire, disaster management, and Chardham Yatra management services, for which the state government will soon issue rules.

During this, CM Dhami also inaugurated the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha’s ‘Modi Rasoi’ and fed food to the youth who had come to participate in the Agniveer recruitment.
