Union Minister Nitin Gadkari last week launched two mobile apps of logistics firm Agarwal Packers and Movers using which the firm will rope in retired defence personnel.
“With the government’s vision of creating self-employment, empowerment and Skill India, APML Sathi is being launched along with APML Suvidha. The focus is on our ex-servicemen becoming an entrepreneur in their second innings post-retirement, and APML wishes to cover every nook and corner of the country,” said a release.
The plan is to create around 15,000 employment opportunities with earnings of ₹30,000 per month or more under the Sathi scheme.
