The lecture covered key aspects of the Agnipath Scheme, including eligibility criteria, educational qualifications, selection process, medical standards, training structure, four-year service tenure, financial benefits such as the Seva Nidhi package, and post-engagement career opportunities. Students were also informed about avenues for permanent enrolment and opportunities in various sectors after completing service.
The session was conducted interactively, encouraging students to participate actively and seek clarifications about life in the Indian Army. The programme emphasized how the scheme fosters discipline, leadership, physical fitness, and skill development among youth, while contributing meaningfully to nation-building. Students displayed enthusiasm and keen interest in serving the nation through the Armed Forces. School authorities appreciated the initiative and highlighted the importance of such awareness programmes in shaping informed and purposeful career choices.
