Ludhiana, December 11, 2025: As part of Yudh Nashya Virudh campaign by Punjab government towards holistic rehabilitation, Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain on Thursday awarded certificates to 24 youths who successfully completed a skill-development programme in dairy farming and allied activities at the Government Rehabilitation Centre in Jagraon.
The youths, all undergoing de-addiction treatment, received hands-on training organised by the district administration in collaboration with the Dairy Development Department, Health Department, and supported by the Sun Foundation. The programme equipped them with practical skills in modern dairy farming, milk processing, animal husbandry, and entrepreneurship – tools designed to open doors to dignified self-employment.
Addressing the gathering, DC Himanshu Jain underlined that the initiative goes beyond treatment. “Our goal is to ensure that no recovered individual relapses into addiction because of unemployment or lack of purpose. On the directions of the Punjab Government, we are fully committed to providing sustainable livelihood options and a sense of dignity to every recovering person,” he said. He announced that many more vocational training programmes will be rolled out in the coming months to strengthen the rehabilitation ecosystem.
The certificate distribution ceremony was attended by SDM Jagraon Upinderjit Kaur, Civil Surgeon Dr Ramandeep Kaur, SMO Dr Gurbinder Kaur, Lead District Manager Gurdev Singh Kang, Employment Generation, Skill Development & Training Officer Jeevandeep Singh, Dairy Development Officer Dr Varun Sehgal, and representatives of the Sun Foundation.
