Officers of the Indian Armed Forces interested in honing their skills in management have one option from the Hyderabad-based Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI).

The college has launched a 24-week certificate programme in business management at its Bella Vista campus here.

The Directorate General of Resettlement (DGR), Department of Ex Servicemen Welfare, Ministry of Defence, Government of India, has awarded the program to ASCI.

The objective is to enhance the managerial capacities of the officers coming out of the defence services, so that they would be ready for a successful second career in the various functional management disciplines of the corporate sector.
