Institutes offer skills training to youth in Naxal affected areas

Institutes offer skills training to youth in Naxal affected areas

In the summer of 2010, the International Association for Human Values (IAHV - part of Art of Living Foundation, a not-for-profit, educational and humanitarian voluntary organisation), initiated a three-month project to train young militants from Manipur in Pune. The ministry of home affairs had roped in IAHV when these militants offered to surrender.
The militants were trained in soft skills and vocational modules in cell phone, airconditioner and refrigerator repair, computer skills and electrical works. The outcome: 80 militants, including women, are now employed in companies across Pune.
