Police – 130 Posts
The largest number of posts is that of the police, which stands at 130 out of 181 total number of posts listed in the state. Other posts have been identified in different departments such as forest, transport, excise, and Secretariat services.
Uttarakhand rules cover a number of uniformed posts such as police constables, civil police sub-inspectors, PAC platoon commanders, fire fighters, jail posts, forest guards, forest inspectors, excise constables, transport enforcement constables, and Secretariat guards.
10% Horizontal Reservation for Former Agniveers
The state has provided 10% horizontal reservation for former Agniveers in certain direct recruitments to uniformed Group C posts. Exemption from physical efficiency test and age limit relaxation based on Agniveer service is provided under the rules.
This provision in the state is independent of the scheme announced by the Central Government in respect of former Agniveers in Central Armed Police Forces and Assam Rifles.
What happens after Agniveers serve?
Agniveers serving their tenure are free to apply for any eligible government jobs by following the proper recruitment procedure for that post. This will be based on their requirements, criteria, and recruitment procedure for that post.
Since Uttarakhand has already provided information regarding 181 posts to the Centre, it all depends on the respective departments now for the future procedure.
