CHENNAI: In a bid to bridge the gap between military experience and private sector employment, Ministry of Defence hosted an employment fair at the Air Force Station, Tambaram, on Friday, targeting veterans transitioning to civilian roles.
Organised under the aegis of the Directorate General Resettlement and the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare, the fair brought together 580 former servicemen and 52 corporate employers.
The event was inaugurated by Dr Niten Chandra, secretary, ex-servicemen welfare.
The initiative reflects a growing push by the government to better integrate retired defence personnel into the mainstream economy, positioning them as a disciplined, skilled workforce suited for corporate demands.
