Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane on Wednesday urged the Indian defence manufacturers to act on their commitment and make strategic announcements for ex-Agniveers under the corporate recruitment plans at the earliest.
On Wednesday, the Ministry of Defense organised an interactive session with the Indian Defence Industry under the aegis of the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers to seek employment opportunities for ex-Agniveers under the corporate recruitment plans of companies.
The session was organized under the chairmanship of Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane. Senior executives from major Indian defence industry houses including L&T, Adani Defence Systems and Technologies Limited, Tata Advanced Systems Limited, Ashok Leyland, and others participated in the discussion.
The Defence Secretary highlighted the Government’s efforts to leverage the expertise and skills of Agniveers with the aim of employing highly dedicated and disciplined youth in various sectors involved in nation-building.
“The skills gained by the Agniveers during their engagement with Armed Forces will help build a highly competent and professional workforce which will be readily available for fruitful and productive engagement by the industry,” Aramane said.
Senior officials of the companies assured that appropriate provisions would be made in their recruitment policies for reservations for ex-Agniveers based on available skill sets.
Certain suggestions were also considered regarding bridging the skills learned by Agniveers with the industry’s requirements.
