Lucknow: The Army Recruiting Office (Headquarters), Lucknow, covering Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, has set up a special Army guidance and information stall at the annual Uttarakhand Mahotsav 2026 to encourage young people to join the armed forces and familiarise them with career opportunities in the Indian Army.
Celebrating Uttarakhand’s rich legacy as both Devbhoomi and Veerbhoomi, the initiative provides an interactive platform for young aspirants interested in serving the nation.
Visitors are being provided detailed information about the Agniveer recruitment scheme, physical and medical fitness standards, eligibility criteria, required documents and the step-by-step recruitment process. Experienced Army personnel are also interacting directly with candidates and addressing their queries.
A digital self-help kiosk has been installed at the stall to help candidates check their eligibility and understand the online registration process. A dedicated National Cadet Corps (NCC) guidance desk has also been set up to encourage students to enrol in the NCC and explore career opportunities in the Indian Army.
Through exhibition panels, counselling facilities, digital tools and direct interaction with military personnel, the initiative aims to make recruitment information more accessible and transparent.
The Army’s participation in the festival is intended to inspire the next generation, promote patriotism and help young people explore a career in the armed forces.
