Shri Vijai Kapoor,
Lt Governor of Delhi had suggested that the Armed Forces personnel
should be allowed to go to corporate sector for a period of
four to five years to get the necessary management and technical
experience. Addressing a national seminar on Defence Industry
Partnership in Human Resources Management jointly organised
by Directorate General Resettlement (DGR), Ministry of Defence
and Confederation of Indian Industries here today he said this
will benefit both the industry and the armed forces. Shri Kapoor
said highly disciplined and trained manpower is available amongst
our ex-defence personnel in diverse disciplines such as information
technology, engineering, electrical, mechanical engineering,
administration, management, aviation and medicine. He further
said that over 60,000 officers and men retire every year at
very early age. These Armed Forces personnel have been trained
in the best institutions of the country and abroad and form
a formidable human resource, readily available to the Industry
for absorption.

General VS Budhwar, Director General Resettlement, delivering
the opening address said that unlike other professions, personnel
in the defence forces retire at much younger age keeping in

below 35 years of age. This well trained and economically productive
human resource are an asset to our nation and can contribute
significantly in Nation building, if optimally utilized. Referring
to value system in the Armed Forces, General Budhwar said that
the core value system of loyalty, selfless sacrifice, integrity,
courage and honour besides good order and discipline imbued
in Armed Forces will hold good for any organisation that is
result oriented.
