Centre Proposes Skill Training for Disabled Military Cadets, Denies Disability Pension
The Centre informed the Supreme Court that military cadets discharged on disability grounds during training are not eligible for disability pensions or ex-servicemen status due to policy constraints. Instead, the government has initiated skill development programs through short-term courses to aid their resettlement. The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to consider rehabilitation schemes and ensure cadets with benchmark disabilities receive employment reservations under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, while states are urged to include them in ex-military personnel job quotas.
