Do you share this view positively (Partially/Fully)? If not, please elucidate.
Yes
Should ‘Interface’ be Residential?
It could be both residential and non residential though the desired result could be only obtained fully if residential.

What should be the duration of ‘Interface’ (less than 3 years, 4 years, more than that?)
it could start even before they finish the veda adyayanam. it could think of arranging programs for the anadyayana days with willing vedic schools. The participation could be
1.creating a outline/sylabus.
2.providing sources material/ human
3.pracaram of the concept.
as there is an urgency for the boys to start earning anything more than 2 years after veda adyayanam may not be sustainable.

What should be the subjects / curriculum to be covered in this program?
1. speaking samskrit, english
2. writing in tamil (or mother tongue) samskrit and english.
3. ability to type in the above languages and basic computer operations
4. ability to do day to day relevant mathematics and accounting.
5. ability to do do pravacanam, homam properly.

What are the options for the Adhyayi‘s to pursue in the Loukika world apart from Vaideekam such that they are also able to conduct their anushtanam without fail?

travel and attending "fixed-time" office are the main stumbling blocks for observing anushtanam. so any job- preferably self employed- where one can determine the days of work and timing can work; translation work, DTP, teaching are some that spring to mind.

What are the special skills required for the above?
apart from he above mentioned subjects in the curriculum creating a mind set is very important. we should create a lot of confidence in the person that he can and will make a living as envisaged.

Would you be interested in further discussions on this issue? Would it be possible to ensure personal participation for discussions?
yes.

Any comments that you might want to add…We should think of taking part time veda classes for the laukikas. Apart from making them learn some basic parts of veda it will sustain an interest in veda in the society and families that come in touch with such classes will have interest and much less inhibition if their children are to learn veda.
