The military boss said that the meeting would exhaustively discuss the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration Programme ahead of the transfer of the rehabilitated clients to their state governments. He said that “It is also important to mention that upon graduation from the programme, each client will be provided some food and personal items, as well as a start-up pack according to the trade learnt during training to enable them set up small businesses and start a new life.”
