National Conference on Human Rights of Prison Inmates
Speaker at the national conference organised by NHRC for inviting me to be a panellist on the first session of the national conference on ‘Enhancing quality of life of Inmates: Ensuring Dignity, well-being and human rights behind bars.’ I was able to share few insights on #prison reforms with special reference to Tinka Jail Radio and books on jails. Case studies, sound, music and colours helped me express my emotions.

Needless to say- Radio In Prison- published by National Book Trust, India was specially mentioned.

Vigyan Bhawan had witnessed the release of Tinka Tinka Tihar in 2013 with the union home minister releasing it. Today, after 12 years, talking about the journey is going to be truly memorable.
It was a proud moment to attend this conference on ‘Human Rights of Prison Inmates’ with former President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind addressing the 32nd Foundation Day.
The day was fruitful. Gratitude.
