Chandigarh: Haryana has begun identifying direct recruitment vacancies for Ex-Agniveers across government departments, boards, and corporations, setting the stage for implementing the horizontal reservation benefit extended to former Agniveers domiciled in the state.
Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi has directed all Administrative Secretaries to compile the vacancy positions from the departments, boards, and corporations under their control and submit the information to the government on priority. The exercise follows the state government’s instructions dated August 18, 2026, extending the benefit of horizontal reservation to Ex-Agniveers domiciled in Haryana.
Departments have been specifically asked to provide the number of vacancies earmarked for Ex-Agniveers under the UR, OSC, DSC, BC-A, BC-B, and EWS categories. The prescribed proforma also seeks the month-wise Ex-Agniveer recruitment position.
The direction covers all Administrative Secretaries, Heads of Departments, Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners, as well as Managing Directors, Chief Administrators and Chief Executive Officers of Haryana’s boards and corporations.
