Agnipath protests: Anand Mahindra says his company will recruit Agniveers

Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra said he will recruit Agniveers, the defence troops who will be hired in the Armed Forces for four years, in his tractor-to-financial-services conglomerate, the first such announcement by a major corporate house.

"Saddened by the violence around the #Agneepath program. When the scheme was mooted last year I stated-& I repeat-the discipline & skills Agniveers gain will make them eminently employable. The Mahindra Group welcomes the opportunity to recruit such trained, capable young people", he tweeted on June 20.
