Addressing the youth, he stated that, as per the Punjab government’s directives, the district administration is committed to bringing colour and hope back into the lives of those recovering from addiction. Through the Punjab Skill Development Mission, the youth were provided this course free of cost.

The district administration will also assist eligible candidates in finding jobs.

The Deputy Commissioner said that, a week ago, a new batch of 35 youths at the Red Cross De-addiction Centre in Janer began “fast food training” through RSETI (Rural Self Employment Training Institute).
