The Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurugram, the country’s premier B-School, in association with the Directorate General of Resettlement (DGR), Ministry of Defence, has been conducting a sixmonth course for retired armed forces officers. This specialised course helps the participants to assist and guide them in various fields of corporate sector including sales and marketing, operations, IT, supply chain management, human resource, finance, retail, telecom, strategy management and education.
MDI has designed the specialised programme to equip officers in managerial competencies for the corporate world. The programme can be opted by both retired as well as by short service commissioned officers. An added advantage of this course is that the military MBA aspirants can impart useful and effective leadership experiences to their civilian counterparts. Course Director, Dr Parul Gupta, said “the programme consists of three semesters with 50-60 participants in the batch.” She also said the course is sponsored by DGR (Directorate General of Resettlement), Government of India, as it provides 60 per cent of the course fee which is Rs 2.2 lakh per head.
