Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy has said that the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship aims to collaborate with the Ministry of Defence in a mutually beneficial manner, where ex-servicemen could be employed as trainers and assessors in the skill development ecosystem. This would address one of the major problems of lack of qualified trainers at skill training institutes in the country as well as have the dual function of providing an attractive career opportunity for reemployment of ex-servicemen.

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today Shri Rudy said, the Ministry will enable ex-servicemen who already possess focused skills to enter and integrate with the job market through certification of skills under recognition of prior learning (RPL).
