Background
Overview
UPSC frequently examines government strategies for internal security, conflict resolution, and socio-economic development in conflict-affected regions. Rehabilitation policies are a crucial non-military tool in this regard, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to peacebuilding.
Surrender and rehabilitation policies are government initiatives aimed at encouraging active members of insurgent or militant groups to lay down arms, return to mainstream society, and lead normal lives. These policies typically offer incentives such as financial assistance, vocational training, and legal immunity (under certain conditions) to facilitate their reintegration.
