Employing The Human Recource
Until today we have promoted 5 volunteers to the post of a paid employee with sets of responsibility in our organization. They have been engaged in our rehabilitation facility and a few have been posted in other projects the organization is implementing. A dozen volunteers are getting vocationally trained and are queued for further mainstreaming opportunities. International day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking.. With the caption "support- don't punish" it was our endeavor to generate awareness and make the guys realize the importance of staying sober... We talked of positive things "one commitment many gifts"... There were guys who stayed clean and conveyed the message "keep it simple" to their fellow users... A mime and few acoustic melodies made the evening...
Keeping Up the Hope
The last year we have experienced a coercive effort of the executive members, staffs and volunteers of the organization in raising its standard of service delivery and quality of expertise in making a difference in the life of the beneficiaries. There has been poor system and policies due to which the organization suffered a lot both in technical and financial front. The responsibilities have not been distributed and activities have not been translated into action yielding good outcome though we went on moving and the few achievement has been encouraging.
Livelihood
We have been a partner with NYKS and has observed constitution days and worked to provide vocational training to the inmates of our facility in order to offer them mainstreaming opportunity through vocational training and entrepreneurship skill. We have trained 30 of them on LED technology and RO filtration. It was of great honor for us to be invited by NYK to chair the judges post in few of the competitions they organized,

Rehab Activities
5 years running and then in its fifth year Aashray has served 876 substance users who visited our facility from all across the district and few beyond that border. It was all in our effort to provide the best of the services to the benefactors and beneficiaries and we have innovated for that purpose therapies and treatment protocol that would give early and sustainable cure to the substance users and people suffering from mental health disorders. It was that initiation that ensured sobriety and recovery to lot many beneficiaries and crossed the average percentile of recovery recorded in the rehabilitation facility. Our goal is to fight the disease of addiction and hence we have partnered and therefore helped law enforcement agencies and district administrations by delivering services to the juvenile and criminals with addictive background referred to our service for withdrawal management.
