What is Rehabilitation Policy?
A Rehabilitation Policy is a government program designed to provide support and assistance to individuals who have surrendered or renounced violence, particularly in conflict-affected areas. It aims to reintegrate them into mainstream society by providing livelihood opportunities, education, and other essential services.
Historical Background
Rehabilitation policies have been implemented in various conflict zones in India, including areas affected by Naxalism, insurgency in the Northeast, and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. These policies have evolved over time based on the specific needs and challenges of each region.
