Agniveers look for jobs, Indian caught in war, and a nurse trapped abroad
Published 2 hours ago
Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Vidheesha Kuntamalla about Uttarakhand’s proposed Agniveer Cell, how it plans to help the first returning batches find civilian employment, and the challenges involved in matching their skills and aspirations with available opportunities.
Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Brendan Dabhi about Sahil Majothi, a young man from Gujarat who travelled to Russia as a student, joined its armed forces and later surrendered in Ukraine, where he remains in a prisoner-of-war facility as his family seeks his return. (11:50)
And in the end, we look at the case of Ranchi-based nurse Monica Kachhap, who says she was promised a nursing job in Dubai but became trapped in an exploitative work arrangement and an alleged debt of more than ₹3 lakh. (23:55)
