Lauding the initiative, Asthana said, every year, over 1.5 lakh people are arrested by the Delhi Police for several crimes. More than 85 per cent of these offenders are first-timers and only 10-15 per cent of them are regular offenders. Unnati is an initiative that targets these 85 per cent of people allowing them to make a fresh shot at life and join the mainstream contributing positively towards the growth of society.

The courses offered include digital literacy courses comprising basic computer courses and typing training, preparatory courses for competitive exams and sports courses, and more.
