Through Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR), Caritas India provides reintegration support to the returnee and enables them to have dignified lives through a network of charitable organization working for the refugees and asylum seekers around the world.

At the same time, in combatting the misery of trafficked people, Caritas India has revived the Anti Human trafficking network called All India Network to End Human Trafficking (AINEHT), together with embarking on a study of cross border (India-Nepal) anti-human trafficking. Furthermore, Caritas India took part in the Christian Organisation against Trafficking Network (COATNET) meeting held in Paris to deliberate the Strategic Plan for 2016-2020.
