5 young adults enrolled in a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology, 4 youths will be enrolled for Hotel Management, 4 youth in General Nursing and Midwifery & 3 youngsters will undergo a Diploma in Beautician course.

Additionally, 17 Udayan children who passed Higher Secondary Examination in 2022 took admission in Vocational Training, and have completed their registration for Nursing at MAKAUT University and the Chattisgarh Nursing Council under the support of SBI Life Insurance.  

Vocational & Professional courses such act as the bridge between Udayan and a dignified livelihood – enabling leprosy affected youths to lift their families out of poverty.
