Delhi Police-run Podcast airs Valor of Woman SI

'Kissa Khaki Ka', the podcast series run by Delhi Police, on Sunday released the story of a woman Sub-Inspector on the occasion of World Storytelling Day. 

In the latest episode, Sub-Inspector Saroj Khan, born in a farmer family of five sisters and one brother in Rajasthan, struggles to continue her education. She wins a prestigious scholarship and gets admission in University of Rajasthan. Her story soon became an inspiration for both her family and village. 

One of her sisters and husband also became a part of Delhi Police force. Started as an innovative initiative by Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana, these podcasts have gained immense popularity since its beginning in January this year. "Kissa Khaki Ka' features stories filled with crimes, investigations, hearts and humanity. 

This series has been scripted and voiced by prison reformer and media educator Vartika Nanda. The series is aired every Sunday on all the social media handles of Delhi Police.

New Radio Jockeys To Be Introduced In Haryana Jails; Tinka Tinka Foundation Will Give Training To Inmates

Three jails in Haryana are all set to get a new set of Radio Jockeys to work with the in-house prison radio station. Auditions for the selection of these three jails have been conducted by Dr. Vartika Nanda, Founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation and the brain behind prison radios in the state of Haryana. Three jails that have been chosen for the next phase of prison radio training are- Central Jail, Ambala, District Jail Jind and District Jail Kurukshetra. 15 inmates from these jails are now getting ready to receive the training.

Purpose of Prison Radio 

Purpose of inhouse prison radio is to give inmates the opportunity for better communication, to give them an additional skill and also to reduce depression and aggression among them. Jail radios give them a creative engagement and the opportunity to fill ‘empty’ time in jai.

The backgrounder

Jail Radio is a new initiative undertaken by Tinka Tinka Foundation, a Public Charitable Trust working on the reformation of prisons through creative means like art, media, culture and literature. Jail Radio has been working to promote the hidden skills of the inmates through art and creativity. It is a new mode to reveal their talent to the world.

BRUT released a special film in January this year to highlight the endeavor of Tinka Tinka Foundation in bringing reformation among jail inmates through jail radio. The documentary was shot in the premises of District Jail, Panipat. This is the first time that a video is shot in the prison to document prison radio.

Brainchild behind this prison movement

Inmates are being  auditioned, trained and prepared for broadcasts by prison reformer Dr. Vartika Nanda, Founder, Tinka Tinka Foundation. She is the head of Department of Journalism at Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University. She is the author of 3 books on prison reforms that are considered to be masterpieces of prison reforms in India.

Delhi Police collaborate with All India Radio to showcase Kissa Khakhi Ka podcasts for a countrywide reach

The Delhi Police in an move to reach more listeners and viewers have collaborated with the All India Radio to showcase the Kissa Khakhi Ka podcasts of police on the AIR channel. 

Veteran journalist and prison reformist Vartika Nanda hosts podcasts for Delhi Police to give a platform to the police to express themselves and highlight the unsung heroes in the force. 

As a storyteller, Vartika Nanda has narrated extra ordinary work of Delhi policemen and even hosted special podcasts with Delhi CP Rakesh Asthana and Republic Day and International Women’s Day. 

Delhi Police PRO Suman Nalwa told BW PoliceWorld, “We want the citizens to know that behind the khakhi, there are men and women who work, feel and act for the people. There are many police officials who are doing humanitarian work, silently aiding citizens, underprivileged sections of society and doing relentless work as a police official. We want their stories to reach in every part of the country”.

The special podcast of Delhi Police Rakesh Asthana on the International Women’s Day is the first podcast to debut on AIR alongwith the simultaneous release on the Delhi Police social media handles. 

The podcasts of Kissa Khakhi Ka are showcased on the social media handles of Delhi Police on Facebook and Twitter regularly. The platform of AIR will give more reach to the Delhi Police to reach even the remote villages of the country where the courage, compassion and unheard stories of Delhi Police would reach. 

Shedding the traditional image of the Delhi Police, the force has open heartedly introduced newer methods of communication through social media platforms and the newest being the podcasting. Delhi Police did not have a podcast of their own and the Kissa Khakhi Ka podcasts is one of its kind. 

With this collaboration, Delhi Police and AIR will showcase the Kissa Khakhi Ka episodes weekly on Sundays. 

Storyteller Vartika Nanda said, “The audio has its own potential of storytelling. In this age of overflowing content and television, the podcasting has its own beauty to reach listeners. The podcasts are receiving good response and now we are trying to innovate and bring more varieties to the shows. Through these podcasts, we are trying to show the positive and humane side of police that people haven’t heard so far”. 

She added, "The releasing of podcasts on AIR will bring in more reachability to Delhi Police and the stories will reach even the farthest town in the country. The AIR will maintain the same content as created in Kissa Khakhi Ka and offer their platform for wider reach. This is a positive development for Delhi Police and a great idea to connect with more and more people". 

The AIR will release the podcasts also on their portal where the podcasts would be available to be watched and heard round the clock. The social media handles of the AIR will also showcase the podcasts. 

The podcasts of Kissa Khakhi Ka have showcased the works of Than Singh, constable posted at Lal Quila police station who teaches kids of ragpickers on his own since 2016, constables of Delhi Police who formed the Jeevandayini platform that donates blood to all Delhi NCR hospitals since 2016, Hira Lal, a senior and medal cop of Delhi Police, Sub Inspector Preeti Sangwan, a young police official who has cracked down on gangsters and organized crime.
