To enable vocational training to reach youth in rural and remote areas, the organisation sets up mobile camps with help from the local Government and village administration. These camps provide short-term training in trades like beauticians, wiremen and para-nursing. It paves the way for local youth to set up their own businesses and create a future for themselves.

The organisation provides counselling services for school dropouts. It recognises that such youth have low self-esteem, thus it has developed “Soch Ka Parivartan” which talks about 12 important behaviours to get youth placed in jobs and also succeed in retaining them. The modules are all in video format making them easy to understand. Additionally, financial and digital literacy are also imparted to the youth.

It also empowers first-time offenders lodged in jails with vocational training. These disadvantaged youth are not accepted in society and find it easy to resort to crime once again on release.
