Agnipath is a new recruitment scheme for personnel below the rank of commissioned officers into the three wings of the defence forces in India where recruits will be hired for a maximum of four years. This scheme approved in June 2022 has been criticised for not providing pensions and other benefits, bypassing long tenures and lack of public debates before its implementation. Personnel recruited under this scheme are called Agniveer. (Photo by Abhishek Chinnappa/Getty Images)
