DGR resettlement and self-employment guidance
Plain-language guide · checked information · supporting official sources are listed below

The Directorate General Resettlement (DGR), under the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare, Ministry of Defence, runs the schemes that give ex-servicemen a second livelihood — security agency sponsorship, the oil companies' reserved dealership quota, CNG station management, training courses and more. The one official address is dgrindia.gov.in.

These guides explain each scheme from the official documents — what the rules actually promise, what they do not, and where people get misled. No scheme on this site comes with an income promise, because the official documents make none.

More scheme guides — CNG station management, Mother Dairy outlets, Jan Aushadhi — will be added here as each one's official documents are read and verified. Looking for a job instead of a business? Start with the free ATS Resume Builder.

Important note

This site is not DGR and not the government — we only explain the schemes. Applications happen only through the official channels named in each guide. Nobody — including us — can influence an allotment.
