The Center is giving (a) long term counseling to school students and (b) short-term counseling and guidance to school passed out students. The following five schools have been identified for long term career counseling:

Volunteers in these five villages are collecting the database of the students so that they are given counseling according to their qualifications. About 100 students have been registered with us who needs vocational training in one trade or the other. They have been scrutinized and interviewed so that a proper training according to their qualifications may be organized. Vocational Training Centers have been identified in Jaipur and we have tied up with these organizations to support us in training. Most of the students in our project area cannot afford the high costs of the vocational training and arrangements have been made with Khadi Vidhyalaya, Shivdaspura and RUDSETI, Jaipur to give training's to our students free or at a very low cost
