From Red-Light Area to a Learning Space: Delhi Police and Tinka Tinka Foundation’s Ongoing Journey at GB Road: 19 October, 2026

Stories of change in the All Women's Police Chowki, Shradhanand Marg

Guidance: Shri Rohit Rajbir Singh, DCP, Central District, Delhi Police

Mentor: Ms. Kiran Sethi, Sub Inspector

Concept & Ideation: Professor Vartika Nanda, Founder, Tinka Tinka Foundation

Children as Storytellers of Change

At their usual learning hour, 6 children visited the All Women's Police Chowki at GB Road to share their writings and creative work with the police team and volunteers. Among them was 12-year-old Tabiha, a Class 9 student studying in a nearby school. Confident and eager, she presented her writing, reflecting both her talent and her determination to build a brighter future through education.

Reimagining the Police Chowki as an Education Hub

In an extraordinary  initiative, Delhi Police and Tinka Tinka Foundation (TTF) are working together to transform the police chowki into a vibrant educational space. The vision is simple yet powerful: to create a safe learning environment where children can read, write, express themselves, and dream beyond the limitations of their surroundings.

The Role of a Caring Mentor

More than 30 children regularly visit the chowki to meet Sub-Inspector Kiran Sethi, whose continuous encouragement has made a lasting impact on young lives. For many children, her presence represents trust, motivation, and a belief that education can become a pathway to opportunity and self-respect.

Breaking Cycles Through Learning

GB Road, officially known as Swami Shradhanand Marg, is widely associated with the red-light district. In such a setting, quality education becomes not just important but essential. It offers children the possibility of breaking intergenerational cycles of exclusion and vulnerability, while opening doors to new opportunities and aspirations.

A Library Takes Shape

A dedicated library is currently being developed in the chowki. The initiative aims to provide children with regular access to books, reading materials, and creative resources. More than a collection of books, the library is envisioned as a space where curiosity, imagination, and learning can flourish.

A former inmate painting the library

Tinka Tinka Foundation  (TTF) has identified and selected a former jail inmate to paint  the library, details of which will be shared at an appropriate time. 

Making Learning Systematic and Meaningful

The larger goal is to make education more structured, engaging, and meaningful for children growing up in the area. Through reading sessions, creative writing, discussions, and mentorship, the initiative seeks to nurture confidence, communication skills, and a lifelong love for learning.

GB Road in the National Spotlight

The realities and complexities of life in GB Road have increasingly drawn national attention. In a documentary feature by BRUT India, journalist Professor (Dr. ) Vartika Nanda entered the narrow lanes of GB Road to document the lived experiences of women and families residing there. The report highlighted stories of resilience, survival, and the social challenges faced by those living behind closed doors, bringing wider public attention to a community often seen but rarely understood. The documentary also underscored the importance of interventions focused on dignity, education, and social inclusion for the next generation.  Link: Real Stories of Betrayal and Survival | Inside Delhi’s GB Road 

A Small Space, A Powerful Change

What was once seen only as a police outpost is gradually evolving into a centre of learning and hope. Through the collective efforts of Delhi Police, TTF, and the children themselves, the All Women's Police Chowki at GB Road is demonstrating how education can become a powerful force for transformation, one child and one story at a time.

Santosh Anand in conversation with Vartika Nanda: 2023

Year: 2023: Today, I came across an interview with the legendary lyricist Santosh Anand, whose words have touched generations of listeners. His poetry gave Hindi cinema some of its most memorable songs in films such as Prem Rog, Kranti, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, Pyaasa Sawan, and Shor.

From "Ek Pyar Ka Naghma Hai" to "Mohabbat Hai Kya Cheez", "Main Na Bhoolunga" and "Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi", his lyrics continue to resonate with rare emotional depth and simplicity. Rooted in human experience, love, longing, hope, and resilience, Santosh Anand's writing transcends generations.

Listening to him speak is a reminder that great lyricists do not merely write songs; they give language to our deepest emotions. Sharing this interview as a mark of respect to a poet whose words have become a part of our collective memory.

Tinka Tinka Jail: ज से जेल: वर्तिका नन्दा का उपन्यास

अगस्त, 1993. हरियाणा के शहर अंबाला से नई दिल्ली के लिए शताब्दी ट्रेन चल पड़ी है। स्टेशन धीरे-धीरे पीछे छूटता जा रहा है। चलती हुई ट्रेन की खिड़की से रेलवे का हमारा बड़ा सरकारी बंगला भी दिखा है। रेलवे का वह बंगला जहां हम अब तक रह रहे थे। अब यह बंगला यादों में रहेगा। जिंदगी बदलने जा रही है। जो पीछे छूटा, उसमें कहानी-लेखन भी छूटा। चलती ट्रेन में खुद को जैसे वादा किया था कि अगले दो दशक तक विशुद्ध तौर पर पत्रकारिता करनी है। उसके बाद लिखूंगी उपन्यास।

Tinka Tinka Dasna, Nithari Case and Surinder Koli

जेल से रिहाई पाने का मतलब पूरी आजादी पा लेना नहीं होता. कई बार जेल पूरी जिंदगी पीछा नहीं छोड़ती. 2015 से जिस सुरिंदर कोली को मैं अक्सर जिला जेल, गाजियाबाद (डासना) में मिलती थी, वो एक दूसरा कोली था जो 2023 में अपनी रिहाई आते-आते फिर से बदल चुका था. 

उसका जिक्र दो जगह विस्तार से है- एक, तिनका तिनका डासना (2016, तिनका तिनका फाउंडेशन) और दूसरी, ज से जेल (2026- प्रभात प्रकाशन)

13 years of Tinka Tinka Tihar। जेल। Vartika Nanda। Vimla Mehra। तिहाड़

 Thirteen Years of Tinka Tinka Tihar: A Journey of Hope, Creativity and Prison Reform

As Tinka Tinka Tihar completes thirteen years, it stands as one of India's most remarkable prison reform initiatives, transforming the voices of incarcerated individuals into a powerful movement of literature, music, art and social change. What began in 2013 inside the walls of Tihar Jail has evolved into a nationally and internationally recognized symbol of creative rehabilitation.

The journey began with the publication of the book Tinka Tinka Tihar, co-edited by Dr. Vartika Nanda and Vimla Mehra, then Director General, Delhi Prisons. The book brought together poems written by women inmates of Jail No. 6, offering a rare and authentic glimpse into prison life through the eyes of those living it. Released on 24 September 2013 at the Asian and Pacific Conference of Correctional Administrators (APCCA) in New Delhi, the book created a new space for incarcerated women to express their emotions, aspirations and reflections.

 Blog as a learning platform: Batch 2028: Department of Journalism, LSR

Aarya Raina(24/060):Writing blogs has been a deeply enriching academic experience, pushing me to research and express my thoughts like never before. It’s not just about putting words on a page; it has become a process of discovery, allowing me to develop a more thoughtful and structured approach to expressing my ideas. I now feel as if my writing serves a bigger purpose, contributing to a broader conversation and making an impact beyond the classroom. This journey has boosted my confidence and sparked an excitement for future writing ventures, where I can continue to challenge myself and grow.

My journey with Doordarshan since 80's

For me, the first memory of DD comes from the 80's when as a child artist, I used to visit Jalandhar Doordarshan frequently. Those were the days of tension and fear because Punjab was going through a turbulent phase of terrorism. We witnessed curfews, killings and complete disruption. Despite this, there was Doordarshan, our lifeline. My first entry to DD changed my life forever. From being the youngest anchor on television in Asia at that time, DD opened a vast platform of learning for me. Little did I know at that time that my weekly program would lead me to the world of broadcasting and design the path of my life. Today, as a Professor of Journalism, I bow in gratitude to Doordarshan, the world's largest public service broadcaster, for shaping my journey and inspiring generations of storytellers. My book, Radio in Prison, has some specific mention about this.
