Brig Saumya Banerjee, SM, and Col P K Ghosh (Retd), the Director of Jalan Industries, also represented corporate interests. These senior officers engaged with both ex-servicemen and corporate representatives to discuss emerging employment opportunities, industry needs, and the specific skills required in the civilian workforce.

They emphasized the relevance of military discipline, leadership, and professional expertise in meeting the demands of the corporate sector.

Key recruiters present at the event included companies like Brahmaputra crackers and polymer, Assam Petro-Chemicals, Innovision Guwahati, Jalan Industries, Oil India, ICICI Bank, Dibrugarh University, and Udchalo, among others. This platform allowed ex-servicemen to display their technical, managerial, administrative, and leadership skills while employers connected with a pool of skilled, disciplined, and experienced talent.

The initiative underscores DGR's dedication to providing veterans with meaningful second-career opportunities and their ongoing support in transitioning into the civilian workforce.

DGR continues to aid the resettlement of retiring and retired Armed Forces personnel through various avenues such as employment facilitation, skill development, entrepreneurship, and industry engagement. Through such endeavors, the Government reaffirms its commitment to empowering veterans to pursue fulfilling civilian careers while maintaining their service to the nation.

DGR urges corporate organizations and industry associations to enhance their collaboration with ex-servicemen, capitalizing on their proven leadership, integrity, and professional expertise. Increased industry involvement can open new career avenues for veterans while simultaneously benefiting employers with this valuable talent pool.
