No roll-back of Agnipath scheme, all concessions pre-planned: Defence Ministry

The Ministry of Defence on Sunday stated that the Agnipath Scheme will not be rolled back, saying that such changes had been long overdue since the armed services sought to bring in more youth and experience. It also stated that the reservations for 'Agniveers' announced by different ministries were pre-planned and not in response to the protests that occurred after the policy was launched.
