Heartwarming to see our veterans getting the support they deserve. They sacrificed their prime years for our borders; it's our duty to ensure their second innings is secure. Kudos to DGR and the corporate partners.

Good step, but is 700 jobs enough? We have lakhs of veterans retiring every year. The process needs to be more widespread and regular. Also, hope the jobs offered match their experience and aren't just security guard positions.

The skills translation from military to corporate is a real challenge globally. It's impressive to see a structured effort in India to address this. The leadership and crisis management ex-servicemen bring are invaluable assets.

The MoU for the e-methanol project is also great news! Assam contributing to a national project in Gujarat shows true cooperative federalism. Our nation progresses when states work together beyond boundaries.

My uncle is a retired JCO and often worries about post-service life. Schemes like these give real hope. Hope the momentum continues and more companies from the private sector actively participate. 🙏
