At present, the total number of youth at our facility is 115. While many are still in schools, others are in college pursuing their bachelor degree courses. The academic record of all youth has been consistently good. Besides academics, they are motivated to contribute in community services and its related programmes. In 2016, many of our young people took part in the Swachha Bharat Abhiyan at Shivam Park Madhpar.
While many of our youth now have well-paying jobs, some of them have also gotten married and are well settled in life.
