Heartening to see this focus on the Northeast. Job creation in Assam and neighbouring states is crucial for regional stability and growth. Hope the veterans get good roles with respectable salaries.

While this is a good step, we need to ensure these are quality jobs, not just security guard positions. Their skills in logistics, management, and crisis handling are top-notch and should be utilized properly.

As someone working in HR, I can confirm the value ex-servicemen bring. Their training in teamwork and handling pressure is unmatched. More companies should actively seek to hire from this community.

This is wonderful news. My uncle is a retired army man and struggled to find a good second career. Initiatives like these are a blessing for families. Hope they expand to include skill-upgradation workshops too.
