Scheme for Re-Skilling Ex-Servicemen

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Skill Development Entrepreneurship has been signed. One of the goals of this MoU is to successfully roll out National Skill Qualified Framework (NSQF) compliant skill training to Ex-Servicemen and to train and provide gainful employment to Ex-Servicemen and their dependents in the next five years with private sector collaboration as well. The MoU is currently at the implementation stage.

Directorate General of Resettlement (DGR) has partnered with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) for resettlement of Ex-Servicemen. DGR is also partnering with various Sector Skill Councils under NSDC for re-skilling the veterans. There are already certain tax exemptions under Service Tax and Income Tax for private companies engaged in skill development. Details are as below:
