Since the army men have a relatively short period of service, their service will prove useful in recruiting the youth. The RSLDC (Rajasthan Skills and Livelihood Development Corporation) will be organizing an army recruitment rally in collaboration with the defense personnel to up the placement process in the coming days to ensure top notch placements for exemplary youth.
The state held a meeting regarding this with the Indian Army officers and DSEE (Department of Skills, Employment, and Entrepreneurship) at ‘Kaushal Bhawan for the Skilling and Certification of Ex-Servicemen), this Thursday. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) proposed at the meeting relays the processes and procedures for ESM Skilling in great details. Both the RSWD (Rajasthan Soldiers Welfare Department) and the RSLDC will sign the MoU to seal the deal.
‘But why retired army man?’ is a question that plagues our mind. According to Mr. Krishna Kunal the Commissioner of SEE, the military men retire early in life, which is why the youths can benefit from their broad-ranging experience. Having worked in various departments, the officers can offer ‘expert tips’ to youngsters. The authorities aim at enhancing the skills ecosystem with prior learning, trainer teaching, and assessment.
It’s the employment wing of district administration and the home department that holds the army recruitment rally for the candidates. Nevertheless, since 2014-2015, the SEE department has been organizing rallies. Approximately 10,507 youths have received employment in various categories at the 26 Army recruitment rallies held until today. While the skills and livelihood department will spread awareness and mobilize the youth, the army will finalize the selection of candidates in these rallies.
For those who don’t know, Rajasthan is a leader in terms of contributing workforce to the NAF (National Armed Forces). Today, the desert state accounts for 6.74% of the ESM (ex-service men) strength of the nation. 61% of the personnel are concentrated in Sikar, Alwar, Jhunjhunu, Nagaur, and Jodhpur. The state could use the native officers for training and assessment process: a win-win situation for all.
