The Nai Manzil ("New Horizons") program run by India’s Ministry of Minority Affairs – and supported by The World Bank with a loan of $50 million – provides school dropouts from minority communities in 26 states and 3 union territories with six months of education and three months of skills training, followed by a further six months of support to help them establish themselves.
