This is first of its kind move. A  memorandum of understanding (MoU) was taken shape in presence of the world renowned humanitarian and spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. 

The MoU was signed at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi, between The Art of Living and the Director General Resettlement, Ex-Servicemen Department, Ministry of Defence, Government of India. 

This collaboration marks a vital step toward empowering Ex-Servicemen by creating self-employment opportunities and enhancing community services. 

The partnership focuses on the resettlement of Ex-Servicemen through various developmental projects, including the creation of model villages. 

Ex-Servicemen, along with local communities, will participate in leadership training and awareness programs aimed at fostering growth and resilience.

In other words, the aim of this MoU is to create a team of trained leaders and entrepreneurs from among the Ex-Servicemen and the local population. 

This initiative aligns with the goals of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). Together, these institutions aspire to connect and inspire local youth, help them understand their roles, responsibilities, and the benefits available through the NRLM, and pave the way for a stronger, more self-reliant rural India. 

With Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s vision guiding this initiative, it aims to create sustainable livelihoods and foster a spirit of service and leadership among Ex-Servicemen and rural communities alike.
