In the context of the Agnipath Scheme announced by the Central Government in 2022, consider the following statements:
1. AOnly 1 and 2
2. BOnly 3 and 4
3. COnly 2 and 4
4. DOnly 3
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Only statement 3 is correct: recruits serve a four-year tenure. Statement 1 is wrong because they're called Agniveers, not Agnirakshaks. Statement 2 is wrong because the scheme applies to all three services, not the Army alone. Statement 4 is wrong because the age band is 17.5 to 21 years, so applicants below 19 are very much eligible.
