About the Job Placement Organisation
The Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) is a flagship welfare initiative of the Indian Army, dedicated to facilitating the smooth transition of retired and retiring Army personnel — including officers, Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs), and Other Ranks (OR) — into meaningful civilian employment. Recognising the immense skills, discipline, leadership, and dedication that soldiers bring to any organisation, AWPO acts as a vital bridge between the corporate and public sector world and the vast pool of trained ex-servicemen (ESM) talent available across India.
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.
Ex-servicemen, their families, and interested employers are strongly encouraged to visit www.exarmynaukri.com for the most current listings, to register their profiles, and to connect with the nearest AWPO node for guidance and placement assistance.

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.
