Stree Shakti Award: President of India

Stree Shakti Award: President of India

Dr. Vartika Nanda

Professor (Dr.) Vartika Nanda heads the Department of Journalism, Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University. She is India’s leading prison reformer and media educator.

President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee conferred the Stree Shakti Puraskar on her in 2014 for her contribution to women empowerment through media and literature. Her name has also been included in the Limca Book of Records twice for her unique work on prison reforms. Her work on prisons was taken cognizance by the *Supreme Court of India in 2018.

She is the Founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation , a public charitable trust, contributing in improving prison atmosphere and reforming inmates. Her major initiatives with Tihar Prison Complex (Delhi), District Jail, Dasna, District Jail, Agra (Uttar Pradesh) and the jails of Madhya Pradesh and Haryana have brought immense positive changes in prisons, fulfilling communication needs of inmates and paving way to reformation. She has been instrumental in conceptualising and executing prison radio in District Jail, Agra and the jails of Haryana. Her recent research on the "Study of the condition of women inmates and their children in Indian Prisons and their communication needs with special reference to Uttar Pradesh" has been evaluated as OUTSTANDING by ICSSR. This study was released by the Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh in 2024.

She has authored 10 books on media, prisons and poetry. Her 3 books on prisons are authentic versions of prison life. Her Tinka Tinka Jail Radio Podcasts are the only podcasts in India dedicated to Indian prisons. She has conceived and is the storyteller of the podcast series of Delhi Police, Kissa Khaki Ka, the only podcast run by any police department in India. Vartika Nanda is the Voice of Delhi Police.
