Prisons of Haryana Launched their first Radio
New
year has brought cheer for inmates lodged in Haryana prisons. The first prison
radio has been launched in District Jail, Panipat. Constructed in 2020, this is
a new jail in the State equipped with a modern set-up. The jail radio has been launched by Shri Ranjeet Singh, Jail Minister,
Haryana, Shri Rajeev Arora, IAS, ACS, Home, Jail Department, Govt. of Haryana,
Shri K. Selvaraj, IPS, Director General of Prisons, Haryana, Dr. Vartika Nanda,
Founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation and Shri Devi Dayal, Superintendent Jail.
Inmates of three jails namely Faridabad, Ambala and Panipat were provided training in December 2020 following which this radio has been initiated. This prison radio is the brainchild of prison reformer Vartika Nanda who heads the Department of Journalism in Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University.
This is a Tinka Tinka Prison Reforms model on Prison Radio which can be implemented in other Indian jails. This is aimed at fulfilling the communication needs of inmates.

This is a great initiative by Tinka Tinka. Workshops to train inmates and to develop their talents and creativity is an excellent thing to do. 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. The radio will also keep the inmates informed about their rights and will give them respite in these challenging times of the pandemic when the inmates cannot have any visitors. Vartika Nanda had earlier started a similar radio jail in Agra in 2019. #prisonreform #vartikananda #tinkatinka #radio
