The Indian Army conducted the Agniveer Recruitment Rally at the Upendranath Brahma Football Stadium in Udalguri from August 16 to 23.

This event offered a golden opportunity for the youth of the northeastern states, with a particular focus on the districts of Lower Assam, to serve the nation as Agniveers.

Approximately 25,000 candidates appeared for the written exam, out of which 2,500 candidates from 13 districts of Assam and seven northeastern states were shortlisted for the recruitment rally. The districts included in the rally were Baksa, Chirang, Barpeta, Golpara, Bongaigaon, Dhubri, Darrang, Udalguri, Kamrup Metro, Kamrup Rural, Kokrajhar, Nalbari, and South Solmara.

The rally was held not only for the recruitment of Agniveers but also for the selection of Junior Commissioned Officers (Religious Teachers) from all seven northeastern states.

The selection process was rigorous, involving a series of assessments that included physical fitness tests and medical examinations. The selected candidates, based on merit, will be sent to the respective training centres to commence their journey as proud members of the Indian Army.

The rally stands as a testament to the commitment of the Indian Army to fostering and nurturing the potential of the youth from the Northeast, offering them a chance to serve the nation with honour and dedication.
