Agniveer rally: 620 youth run in Sikar on day 13
The Agniveer army recruitment rally continued at the district sports stadium in Sikar on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. On the 13th day, 620 youth from Jhunjhunu district and Neemkathana tehsil took part in the run.
Rally director Colonel Harish Chandra said 600 candidates from Jhunjhunu and 20 from Neemkathana participated on 13 October. On 14 October, 620 candidates from Ramgarh Shekhawati, Sikar, Sikar rural and Alwar will run. A total of 12,270 candidates have applied for the rally.
The recruitment rally will continue until 23 October. Candidates from eight districts including Sikar, Alwar, Kota, Jhunjhunu, Jaipur and Tonk are taking part. Fitness and medical tests are being conducted date-wise and area-wise.
Indian Opinion Analysis
With 12,270 applicants and a 23-day schedule, the Sikar rally is a large-scale screening event for the Agniveer scheme. The daily cap of 620 runners means the process will stretch for weeks, testing administrative capacity as much as physical fitness. The source leaves unresolved how many vacancies are available or what the selection ratio will be. The next concrete milestone is the physical run for Sikar and Alwar candidates on 14 October.
