Our Assessment

The promise was a specific new skill-certification initiative for ex-servicemen, not merely generic employment assistance. Approved-source searches found continuing soldier-welfare and training-related schemes, and a Times of India report says over 22,000 ex-servicemen had been provided employment, but no approved-source evidence was found of a Major Somnath Sharma Skill Certification initiative or a clearly equivalent state certification pathway for acquired military skills. Budget: no specific approved-source allocation found for this certification initiative.
