In addition, on arriving at the centre, they will be profiled based on their abilities and interests, following which they will be provided with essential skill training. Skills like sewing, compost making, nursery development, incense stick making, broom making, etc. will be taught under the National Skill India Mission.

The motive is to help find these people employment for when they are ready to leave. Apart from skill training, the centre plans on providing the occupants with food with the help of Self-Help Groups.
