ERDC - INDIAN ARMY, NAVY, AF

ERDC, Indian Army is bestowed with saga of valour, sacrifices and selfless dedication to duty by our brave Ex Servicemen fraternity, who has always stood tall and has lived up to the reputation of Naam, Namak aur Nishan. It is therefore, our moral responsibility to provide them all assistance and comfort what they deserve. In light of this, it was felt that meaningful welfare can be achieved by constituting an organization at Ahmedabad Cantonment to streamline all resources and provide maximum assistance to all.

Ex-Servicemen Resource Development Centre (ERDC) was established in July 2013 with a vision to understand and assuage the grievances of our Ex Servicemen, Veer Naris, Widows and Dependents. It strives to provide a complete resettlement solution for re-employment in corporate sector and in government sector. It also coordinates and conducts various Skill Development and Self Employment programmes for our ESM, Veer Naris and Dependents.

Its user friendly interface also facilitates information viewing of available employment options in various sectors.
