Addressing a gathering at the state level function on the occasion of International Day of Yoga in Bhiwani today, the CM said: “We realized that around 75% of the Agniveers after the completion of their four-year tenure would be absorbed by the state government. It’s not difficult. They will be inducted into Group C services and the police force after four years.
Khattar further said that Haryana is the first state in the country to ensure such job guarantee for the youth. “Haryana government is always working for the betterment of the people by taking decisions in their interest.”
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought a paradigm shift in the army. “Now the army will be more equipped on technical grounds. This will give opportunities to the youth of class X to XII.
Khattar also said that the youth should take a pledge to stay away from drugs on International Yoga Day.
“Drug addiction is increasing day by day, which is fatal for the society. So the youth should take a pledge to stay away from this menace.
In addition, Yoga will be included in the school curriculum for classes I to XII so that it can be carried forward, so that students can easily adopt and benefit from it. Youth will also be able to take AYUSH degree at the college level. For this, a postgraduate yoga, naturopathy and research institute is being established in Devarkhana village of Jhajjar.
