Retiring military personnel from the Madras Engineers Group & Centre (MEG) in Bengaluru participated in a five-day Entrepreneurship Development Program designed to equip them with the skills needed for a successful transition to civilian life.
The program was curated by Maj Gen Indrabalan (retired) and conducted by Hand in Hand Academy for Social Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with Jyoti Incubation Lab and the Atal Innovation Mission.
Maj Gen VT Mathew, General Officer Commanding of the K&K Sub Area, also participated, engaging with attendees and offering insights into the entrepreneurial journey.
The program covered various aspects of entrepreneurship, including business planning, financial management, and market analysis, aiming to empower veterans with the knowledge and tools required to start and sustain their own businesses.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to support the empowerment of veterans, helping them to leverage their skills and experiences in new, civilian roles.
By providing such training, the Indian Army not only aids in the professional development of its retiring personnel but also contributes to the broader economic development by fostering new enterprises.
