AWPO also extends its services to widows and wards of Army personnel, ensuring that the sacrifices made by soldiers’ families are honoured through opportunities for economic self-reliance and dignified employment.

Headquartered in New Delhi, AWPO operates through a network of regional offices — known as AWPO nodes — spread across the country, including Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai, Ambala, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Trivandrum, Bhopal, and Jalandhar, among others. This extensive network allows AWPO to cater to vacancies across geographies and sectors, from metropolitan cities to smaller towns.

Why AWPO Matters: Honouring Those Who Served

India has one of the largest standing armies in the world, and every year, thousands of trained, disciplined, and highly experienced soldiers retire from service. These individuals — ranging from senior commissioned officers to skilled technical tradesmen and combat veterans — possess a unique combination of leadership, integrity, physical fitness, crisis management ability, and technical expertise that is invaluable in the civilian workforce.

However, the transition from military to civilian life is not always smooth. Differences in organisational culture, unfamiliarity with the corporate job market, and sometimes a lack of civilian-equivalent certificates for military skills can pose challenges. AWPO bridges this gap by:

  • Actively liaising with corporate houses, PSUs, and NGOs to identify suitable vacancies for ex-servicemen.
  • Matching vacancies with the appropriate rank, age, technical skill, and geographic preference of ESM candidates.
  • Providing a transparent and trustworthy channel for both employers and ex-servicemen, ensuring dignity and fair compensation.
  • Supporting widows and wards of Army personnel, extending the safety net to the families of fallen or retired soldiers.

How to Apply

Interested ex-servicemen, their families, or employers seeking to hire Army veterans are advised to:

  • Visit the official AWPO website at www.exarmynaukri.com for the complete and most up-to-date list of vacancies.
