The Army said that a media report published on a news channel on October 23, 2025 read, “Discussion in the meeting of Army Commanders: Agniveer The proposal to increase the retention rate from 25% to 75% is completely wrong.

The Army also clearly stated that most of the issues mentioned in the report are wrong, including the point about increasing the percentage of permanent appointments of Agniveers. The Army said that this report has been made only to spread sensation and has no connection with the truth.
