Bangalore, Nov 23 (PTI) Nearly 128 Manipuri militants underwent a 90-day intensive spiritual, behavioural and vocational rehabilitation training conducted by the Art of Living and its sister organisation, International Association for Human Values (IAHV) here.
The militants from KCPMC Lallumba that laid down arms on August 6 joined the programme on August 16.
"Manipur, today, is one of the worst insurgency affected states in the north-east. We were not merely looking at training them in technical skills and soft skills, but their complete rehabilitation," said Darshak Hathi, International Director, Art of Living.
Based on Sri Sri Ravi Shankar''s ideals of ''Inside every criminal, there is a victim crying for help'', the programme aimed at stress elimination, bringing inner peace, sensitivity and making them socially responsible citizens. Read More
