2021: 27 April

Tinka Prison Research Cell Announced

Tinka Tinka Foundation has launched Tinka Prison Research Cell (TPRC) with the objective to promote prison related research. The cell will carry out action-oriented research in the domain of prison reforms. It will begin with research on the impact of Tinka jail radio during Covid-19.

Haryana prison department has welcomed this step.

Shri K. Selvaraj (IPS), Director General of Prisons, Haryana launched TPRC and expressed hope that TPRC would help in bringing improvements at the administrative level and enhance the quality of work for the prisoners’ welfare. He added that jail radio had clearly brought a lot of positive difference in the lives of inmates in these jails and this kind of research would augment it further. 

Program was attended by Shri Amit Kumar, Superintendent, Karnal Jail, Shri Devi Dayal, Superintendent, Panipat Jail and Ms. Shailakshi Bhardwaj, DSP, Karnal Jail, other officers and selected jail inmates. Four inmates have been chosen for the research work in the first phase. All the four inmates explained in detail the impact of radio on them. One inmate said that she has been able to completely come out of her depression due to prison radio. Inmate from Panipat added that earlier, on an average, there used to be ten cases of depression in the jail, which has now reduced to nil.  The jail radio is the tool which has helped them deal with difficult circumstances during Covid-19.

Tinka Prison Research Cell has been instituted by Tinka Tinka Foundation, a trust for prison reforms led by Vartika Nanda.

There is no doubt tinka tinka is creating history by presenting so important prison reforms. Prison radio being one of has performed well for the cause. It creates a difference and affect every prisoner, from those who Operate this and have the dream to continue this after they get released to those who just sit in the barracks and calm themselves with this dose of motivation and hope they get from speakers. Indeed inspiring and motivating. #vartikananda #tinkatinkadasna #tinkatinkatihar #tinkatinkamadhyapradesh #tinkatinka
