Over 40,000 apply for Agniveer recruitment drive:Army seeks suitable ground in Gwalior to conduct physical tests

There is tremendous enthusiasm among youth in the Gwalior-Chambal division for the Agniveer recruitment drive. So far, more than 40,000 applications have been received, with the last date for submission set as April 10. Efforts to conduct physical tests in Gwalior The Army Recruitment Board is now working to conduct the physical tests in Gwalior itself. Officials believe that if running and other physical assessments are held locally, it will provide significant relief to thousands of candidates coming from nearby districts. Ground availability a major challenge According to the Army, the written examination will be held in Gwalior. However, arranging a suitable ground for the physical tests remains a major challenge. Colonel Pankaj Kumar stated that a fresh proposal is being sent to the administration, and a high-level meeting on the matter will be held soon. Last time shifted to Shivpuri During the previous recruitment cycle, there were plans to conduct physical tests in Gwalior, but due to the unavailability of a suitable ground, the exams had to be shifted at the last moment to Tatya Tope Stadium in Shivpuri. Attempt to ease process for candidates This time, the Army is making efforts to arrange a large ground in Gwalior itself so that candidates do not have to travel to another district and the recruitment process can be completed smoothly.
