The Agnipath Scheme has purportedly been re-launched as the 'Sainik Saman Scheme,' as claimed in a viral WhatsApp message. The message asserts that the scheme underwent revisions, including an extension of duty period to 7 years, a 60% increase in permanent staff, and enhanced income opportunities. However, PIB Fact Check has refuted these claims, clarifying that the message is false and not endorsed by the Government of India. The PIB investigation has debunked the viral information, affirming that no such re-launch or changes have been implemented under the Agnipath or any related scheme.
