The Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences will also conduct free teacher training for Army school teachers.
Speaking on the occasion, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat stressed on the need for armed forces personnel to keep abreast of latest technological developments which will help them to take on futuristic challenges with the emergence of artificial intelligence and other modern developments.
He emphasised the role of higher education institutions in preparing Army personnel for second career after retirement.
“We propose to send some of our officers to universities to exchange ideas and develop opportunities. We have over 1,000 officers aged between 45-55 years who retire every year as they do not get empanelled for promotion.
They are experienced, talented and have practical knowledge. But they do not have the stamp of a degree. Similarly, 50,000 of our soldiers also face similar situation and face difficulties in their second career after leaving armed forces. That is what we are looking at,” General Rawat said.
He said interested army men can enroll and participate in short-term and long-term academic programmes and training workshops at the university.
The general said the armed forces in India have not only been addressing conflicts but also contributing to nation’s growth. “The Indian armed forces not only secure the borders but also provide a cushioning internationally for investors and creating a favourable ambience for investments like FDI.”
