The program envisions to give opportunities to those inmates who are willing to learn and earn after release. 5 Jails of Uttrakhand have been brought under this program namely; Haridwar, Dehradun, Sitarganj, Almora & Nainital. The program envisions to touch the lives of 1000 prison inmates.
Under this program good quality training is provided inside the jail so that inmates get equal opportunities available to bridge the socio-economic divide created due to imprisonment. Along with this behavioural and stress-free training programs are also provided to the candidates for an overall transformation.
