Guwahati: Assam Skill University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today with the Directorate of Sainik Welfare, Government of Assam. The agreement was signed between Subhash Das, IAS (Retd), Vice Chancellor of Assam Skill University, and Brig Ploash Choudhury, SM (Retd), Director of Sainik Welfare.
The aim of this partnership is to use the skills and practical experience of ex-servicemen and match them with training and job opportunities through the university. This will help ex-servicemen find work in government, PSUs, and the private sector. It will also help in their rehabilitation, as many retire young and still have 15–20 years of active working life.
The collaboration also plans to support widows and dependents of ex-servicemen by guiding them toward useful and lasting careers.
Col PN Giri (Retd), Zila Sainik Welfare Officer of Darrang, and Dr Jagadish Nath, Deputy Registrar of Assam Skill University, have been appointed as the main contacts to lead this effort and ensure its success.
