Tinka Tinka's principles have always had their foundations in Nelson Mandela's thoughts and vision. As Mandela had told, remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead, we are grateful to the movement that Tinka Tinka has brought in the country and happy to see its recognition in the celebrated Limca Books of world records. An exceptional milestone, with many others to follow. As Tinka Tinka Tihar swiftly attains one triumph after another, it is truly a movement of its kind!
This record will forever be a badge of pride!

The work Tinka Tinka Tihar is the first of its kind, to speak about the lives of women in tihar jail, in their own language. This initiative taken by Vartika Mam not only introduces to the readers, the lives of these women but she is also successful in bringing out the creativity of these women. It must have been a proud moment for them when they realized that their work is now part of the Limca Book of Records. Hats off to Vartika Mam for this wonderful work. tinkatinka #vartikananda #humanrights #prisonreforms
