Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Friday launched a skill-development programme for the training of 1,020 inmates, informed the Raj Niwas. The skill training programme is being conducted under Innovative and Special Projects (ISP) of Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana- National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAY-NULM) and has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, as reported by ANI.

Primero Skills and Training Pvt. Ltd. has been selected as a training partner by the Ministry for this purpose and the programme is being steered through the Mission Swaraj (State Urban Livelihood Mission). This skill development programme has been envisaged to be of around 350 hours/3-4 months duration with a batch size of 30 inmates.

Those inmates who are going to be released in the next 6-9 months will be considered for this training. This skill development programme will ensure placement of around 70 per cent of the successful trainee inmates, enable them to earn their livelihood, help them re-integrate them into the society and thus lead a meaningful life after release from the prison, ANI reported.

LG Vinai Kumar Saxena, while inaugurating the training programme exhorted all inmates for their reformation. He asked them to consider the training programme as a temple for the enhancement of their skills, which will help in earning their livelihood post-release and thus also support their family.
