The rehabilitation programme aimed at stress elimination, bringing inner peace, creating centeredness, sensitivity and making them socially responsible citizens through the Art of Living Sudarshan Kriya and the Youth Leadership Training Programme.
Alongside, there was a vocational skill development training in computers, mobile repair, electrical and AC/refrigeration. Evenings were dedicated for cultural programmes, satsangs and games. Today, most of the group is successfully employed in mainstream companies.
