The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) has inducted 287 ex-servicemen, making the total number of security personnel deployed at the institute 1,000, officials said on Sunday.
Addressing the veterans who have joined, Director Dr Vivek Lal on Saturday said, “With the induction of Army ex-servicemen as the new batch of security personnel, PGIMER is moving closer to realising its vision of a safer, more responsive, and patient-friendly environment.”
“The commitment and discipline that these ex-servicemen bring will immensely strengthen our institutional fabric as we continue expanding our clinical and research facilities,” Lal said.
According to a PGIMER statement, the induction ceremony marked a “significant step towards reinforcing institutional security and operational efficiency”.
Dr Lal said the ex-servicemen have been inducted through the Punjab Ex-Servicemen Corporation (PESCo).
