Youth in India constitute a big chunk of the population, yet it remains the most subjugated and marginalized.The project seeks to provide opportunities for education and training, viable employment and health and social services. Project envisions to provide empowering opportunities to such youths through counseling and vocational training and a Congressional center.
The emergence of urban slums in Delhi started during 1960-70s, the time when the industrialization process was rapidly increasing the demand of manual labour. The people migrated to cities had no legal status and were the most subjugated group in the society. They had very less of resource to survive upon with no measures by the government towards the acknowledgement of their existence in the cities. This gave rise to delinquency amongst youths of the community.
The proposed approach decided mutually by implementing agency, community members and other stakeholders are: I. Inculcation of social values in youth. II. Exposure to developed and proper way of living in and outside the community. III. De stigmatizing them in Police peripherals, for the maligned status of youth gives ample opportunity to police to be always suspicious of them. IV. Providing vocational skills to youths in trades with established market demand
The project seeks to inculcate the social norms and values in delinquent youth group by developing a sense of responsibility and good conduct amongst them. It will work towards enhancing the chance of employ ability as well as promote self-employment and entrepreneurship amongst them.
