Meaningful professional and vocational training to retiring officers, junior Commissioned Officers & Other Ranks is imparted by DGR through various training institutes for the rehabilitation and resettlement of ESM in civil life.

Army Welfare Placement Organization and similar placement cells in Air Force help ESM in finding suitable jobs in Banks, industries, corporate Houses, Academic Institutions, Hospitals, Hotels and Real Estate.

However, welfare of ESM is a continuous process and all eligible ESM are provided the entitled facilities. All efforts are made on an on-going basis by the Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare to address the concerns of ESM.
