Under the project, we targeted the slum areas, EWS and BPL candidates, who were not able to work due to lack of training or their family conditions were such that they were forced to drop their studies. This project helped needy people through a wide range of support, techniques and initiatives, which aimed to develop their skills and knowledge.

The aim of the Gurgaon Police partnership was to channelize the energy of the unemployed youth and deter them from turning to crime, thus bringing harmony, thus working towards a crime free Millennium City of Gurgaon – A truly SMART CITY.
