The Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) is an Inter-Service organization functioning directly under the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (Ministry of Defence). To maintain a youthful profile of the Armed Forces, approximately 60,000 service personnel are retired/released every year at a young age. Majority of the service personnel at the time of retirement are at an age where they have numerous unfinished domestic responsibilities, which necessitate their taking up a second occupation. As armed force personnels have acquired certain competencies during their service career, they need to be re-oriented for second career post-retirement/release. DGR provides opportunities to service personnel and ESM for reorientation. DGR helps in generating opportunities and nurturing dreams for re-employment/ entrepreneurship. JCOs/OR and their equivalent of the three Services are eligible to undergo resettlement training.

Edulight is one of the chosen few by the government to implement this program. Our ability to resettle our brave hearts for jobs into a new career prompts them to choose our programs. These programs are delivered in Mumbai at our training centres, and we assist them with accommodation and other arrangements during their stay for the training program. We welcome our defence personnel to choose these programs and for a bright second innings. For details about these programs, you may write to gayatri.sinkar@edulight.co.in or rajani.nair@edulight.co.in
