Push for Higher Enrollment as District Collector Assesses Awareness and Registration Efforts for Agniveer Recruitment Scheme in Malkangiri

Malkangiri, Mar, 28:: A review meeting was held under the chairmanship of District Collector Prathmesh Arvind Rajshirkhe to create awareness among youth and increase registration for Indian Army Agniveer recruitment.
The important meeting was conducted via video conference. It was attended by the Regional Director of Education (Jeypore), the Sub-Collector of Malkangiri, the District Skill Development and Employment Officer, the District Education Officer, the District Welfare Officer, the principals of Government ITI and Polytechnic institutions, and the Director of the ARO (Army Recruitment Office), Gopalpur.
It was informed during the meeting that the Agniveer registration process began on February 13 and will continue until April 1.
