Jail with a library and road to reformation: Story of Tinka Jail Radio in Haryana’s Panipat Jail completing two years

Harpal comes dressed to the library every day and spends the entire day either issuing books or reading by themselves. Welcome to the Tinka Jail Library in Haryana’s industrial town, Panipat. Tinka Prison library was established on 8th February, 2023. Jail library is located next to the Jail Radio room. It is aimed at increasing literacy level in jail and also to provide ample material to the radio jockeys for preparing broadcasts.

Today, inmates celebrated the 2nd birthday of the jail library. On this occasion, a special podcast made by Dr. Vartika Nanda, the force behind establishing jail radio in Haryana and also Tinka jail library in Panipat jail, was broadcast on the jail radio for the entire inmate population. Tinka Tinka Jail Radio podcasts are the only podcasts in India that are devoted to prison reforms. Vartika Nanda, founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation has conceived these podcasts.

Constructed in March 2019, this is the modern prison in Haryana. It has a prison population of nearly 1000 inmates.
