Members of a Parliamentary Standing Committee have raised concerns that only 1.9% of ex-servicemen were hired in 2019, despite a 10-25% job quota. MPs noted that approximately 60,000 soldiers retire annually, with many struggling to find employment, particularly in Public Sector Undertakings. The committee also addressed healthcare issues, with Rahul Gandhi highlighting insufficient government dues clearance for private hospital treatments and inadequate financial aid for serious illnesses like cancer and kidney disease, calling for program reviews.
