Support for Ex-Servicemen: Pensions and Job Opportunities
The Indian Government is actively supporting ex-servicemen through adequate pensions, including the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, and facilitating job opportunities via various resettlement and skill development programs. As of June 2024, there are over 2.8 million ex-servicemen in India, and initiatives such as job fairs organized in collaboration with industry bodies aim to connect them with potential employers. The government also mandates reservations for ex-servicemen in public sector jobs, enhancing their integration into civilian life. These efforts underscore India’s commitment to its veterans, ensuring their welfare and facilitating their transition to productive civilian roles.
