The Madhya Pradesh government is drafting a new reservation formula that would raise the quota from 10% to 20% across six state services, including the police, before the first Agnivir batch completes four years.
The state administration of Madhya Pradesh is preparing a revised reservation scheme that would double the existing 10% quota to 20% in six government cadres, police being one of them. The proposal is being drafted ahead of the four-year anniversary of the inaugural Agnivir batch, a special recruitment drive for police personnel.
According to reports in Amar Ujala, the revised quota would apply to six services that currently have a 10% reservation for the Agnivir category. The draft is expected to be presented to the state cabinet for final approval.
If the cabinet endorses the recommendation, the change would be implemented before the next recruitment cycle, potentially affecting thousands of aspirants seeking entry into the state's police force and other selected services.
The move reflects the government's intent to expand opportunities for the Agnivir category, which was created to address specific recruitment needs in the police department.
The final decision rests with the Madhya Pradesh cabinet, which will consider the proposal alongside other administrative priorities.
