Assam Rifles Signs MoU with CRC Shillong for Veteran Rehabilitation

Assam Rifles has partnered with CRC Shillong to provide rehabilitation services for its personnel and their dependents. The initiative includes diagnostic and training programs, screenings for children, and specialized teacher training. The MoU ensures enhanced welfare for Assam Rifles' community.

Assam Rifles, India's oldest paramilitary force, has established a pivotal partnership with Composite Regional Centre (CRC), Shillong, aimed at providing expansive rehabilitation services to its personnel and their families. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was formalized at Assam Rifles Headquarters in Shillong with key representatives present.

The agreement stipulates that CRC Shillong, an esteemed institution under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, will carry out comprehensive assessments and diagnostic interventions for individuals with diverse disabilities among the force's ranks—both active and retired—and their dependents. Specialized training programs will be crafted for Assam Rifles personnel and their families to address disability-related challenges, providing significant benefits to the communities where Assam Rifles operates.

Additionally, CRC Shillong will oversee screening initiatives for children under 10 years in Assam Rifles-administered schools to detect disabilities early, offering remedial actions. Teachers from these schools will receive focused training on handling special needs education, while parents will be engaged through educational lectures on core rehabilitation themes. This collaboration, duly included under the ADIP Scheme, reaffirms Assam Rifles' commitment to the welfare of its members and their families.
