District administration to prepare rural youth for Agniveer and Haryana Police recruitment: DC Sachin Gupta

Rohtak, March 9, 2026: To expand employment opportunities for rural youth and strengthen their participation in defence and police services, the district administration has decided to launch a structured initiative to prepare young aspirants for the Agniveer recruitment scheme and Haryana Police recruitment, said Deputy Commissioner Sachin Gupta.

Chairing a meeting with officers from various departments, the Deputy Commissioner said the initiative will focus on systematic physical training, written examination preparation, career guidance and medical awareness, enabling rural youth to compete more effectively in recruitment processes.

DC Sachin Gupta said a multi-tier implementation framework has been put in place to ensure coordinated execution of the initiative across the district.

At the district level, the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police, along with heads of concerned departments, will review the progress and provide overall policy direction. The Additional Deputy Commissioner and Additional Superintendent of Police will act as nodal officers to coordinate implementation and monitor progress across departments.

At the sub-divisional level, committees headed by the respective SDMs and DSPs will supervise the campaign, while at the village level, committees comprising Sarpanch, PTIs, school principals, ex-servicemen and youth volunteers will mobilise young aspirants and facilitate training activities.

The Deputy Commissioner directed the police department to mobilise youth through police station networks and organise awareness sessions regarding recruitment standards and discipline required for defence and police services.

The District Sports Officer has been asked to identify suitable sports grounds and training centres and deploy available coaches and trainers. A standard physical training schedule will also be prepared to ensure systematic preparation for running, endurance and other physical tests required in recruitment.

The Education Department will identify schools with suitable playgrounds for training activities and make classrooms available during evening hours for written examination coaching. Eligible students studying in senior secondary schools will also be encouraged to participate in the programme.

The Development and Panchayats Department will mobilise youth through Gram Panchayats and identify Panchayat land or community spaces where school grounds are not available.

To strengthen mentorship support, the Zila Sainik Board will identify ex-servicemen willing to guide and train youth while also conducting motivational sessions on defence recruitment standards.  The District Employment Office will organise career counselling sessions and assist in preparation of study material for written examinations. A database of participating youth will also be created.

Similarly, Nehru Yuva Kendra will conduct village-level awareness and registration drives through youth clubs and volunteers. The Health Department will organise medical screening camps for participating youth and create awareness regarding nutrition, physical fitness and injury prevention.

DC Sachin Gupta said the initiative will ensure structured preparation of rural youth, positive engagement through sports and training activities, and improved participation of district youth in Agniveer and Haryana Police recruitment processes.

“In the first phase of the campaign, the villages Ritholi, Kabulpur, Karor, Sanghi, Khidwali, Nindana, Gaddi Kheri, Bohar, Kheri Sadh and Baliyana have been prioritised for implementation. The programme will gradually be expanded to cover other villages of the district as well,” he added.

The meeting was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioner Narendra Kumar, ASP Prateek Aggarwal, SDM Rohtak Ashish Kumar, SDM Sampla Utsav Anand, SDM Meham Vipin Kumar, DSP Gulab Singh, DDPO Rajpal Chahal, Secretary Zila Sainik Board Gaurika Suhag and other officers.
