Tinka Tinka India Awards for the year 2019 will be released in Lucknow District jail on December 8, 2019. These will be released by Shri Anand Kumar, IPS, DG Prisons, Uttar Pradesh, Shri Sulkhan Singh, Former DG Police, Uttar Pradesh and Vartika Nanda, Founder, Tinka Tinka.
These awards are dedicated to the cause of Human Rights. Tinka Tinka Awards have been initiated by Vartika Nanda, India’s leading prison reformer. Every year Tinka Tinka Awards are released in a prison in the presence of inmates and jail staff. Ceremony for 2018 took place in Jaipur Central jail and 2017 in Tihar Jail, Delhi. This year the theme for painting was Radio in Jails.
This was followed by Uttar Pradesh with 35 entries for nomination in the same section. In the Special Talent section for inmates, 19 nominations were received. This award honors those inmates who have attempted to bring significant positive influence on jail life.
This year 28 jail staff had applied for Tinka Tinka India Awards, through their respective state headquarters. This category recognises the contribution of those jail personnel who go beyond their regular call of duty and contribute in the reformation process.

Creativity can help one let go a lot of what disrupts his/her peace of mind. Also, creativity has the potential to introduce someone to appreciation. Appreciation is important in the lives of these inmates, because they are already seen as an outcast in the society. We say we can't generalise things same goes for prisoners, there are a lot of people inside prison who weren't in the wrong, there are some who committed the crime and repent and then there are some who committed the offence but don't regret doing so, in fact there are a lot of people who did wrong and were never convicted. It's a hope to any inmate who thinks his/her past makes him/her unworthy of appreciation and just a subject of criticism. It's high time we break these generalisations that persistently prevail. If someone is willing to change we ought to make it easier for them, that's what Tinka Tinka Foundation aims for and that's what they are efficiently pursuing. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #prison #jail
This is a great initiative by Tinka Tinka. This award will give incentive to inmates to develop their talents and creativity. The work of Dr. Vartika Nanda, the founder of the movement of prison reforms in India, is a testament to the idea that rehabilitation and not punishment is the answer. I hope new categories are also added to the awards. It is also very good to know that organizations are recognizing the hard work of prison staff and administrations. It will motivate them to do better. #awards #tinkatinka #vartikananda #prisonreforms
