In this center, a differential
training
approach has been taken up for the two
age groups (14-16 yrs and 17-18yrs) of students
catered to in the centre. The 14- 16 year children are
given entry-level skill training with more focus on the education that will be
ensured by the RBCs. The second age group of 17- 18
years are being given a more formal training so that
they can pursue a career in a particular field.
One special feature of the center is that candidates
are only girls who come from lower-income group and
minority community.
