The Tinka Tinka Foundation organized a workshop on “Mental Health through Communication and Creative Skills” at Adharshila Observation Home for Boys-II on 17 February in Delhi. The event, themed “Vande Mataram,” was designed to promote emotional expression and well-being through creative engagement.
After being shown a reference image, juvenile participants used their imagination to visually communicate thoughts and feelings that often remain unspoken, transforming their ideas into meaningful artworks. Children were sensitized to the concept and underlying objectives of the workshop, ensuring awareness about the role of communication and creative expression in mental health and rehabilitation.
About the Observation Home
The observation home accommodates boys in the 16–18 age group and has a sanctioned capacity of 150. Currently, nearly 280 children are residing in this institution. 15 Children in Conflict with Law were intensively engaged in the creative process, using the theme of the tri-colours to express their emotions, personal experiences, and aspirations.
Under the guidance of the Superintendent, Mr. Rahul Doon, and with the active support of welfare officers (Mr. Gurjant Singh, Mr. Hitesh Bhardwaj, Mr. Akshay Rathee), Counsellors (Ms. Anshika Rana, Ms. Esna Nanglia, Ms. Amita Jha), teacher (Mr. Rajesh), and institutional staff, the CCLs translated their thoughts into meaningful artworks, demonstrating insight, reflection, and creativity.
Dr. Rashmi Singh (IAS), Secretary, Women and Child Development, Government of Delhi, graced the occasion virtually and presented certificates of appreciation to the participating CCLs, acknowledging their sincere efforts and creative contributions.
Recognition
The workshop had a constructive and motivating impact, encouraging the children to integrate creative expression as a constructive coping within their rehabilitation journey. The programme was successfully conducted under the supervision of Mr. R.K. Yadav.
The winners were felicitated with awards and presented with copies of Radio In Prison, a book authored by Professor (Dr.) Vartika Nanda and published by National Book Trust, India. Moving forward, the foundation plans to establish a library within the home to promote reading, learning, and continued creative growth among the juveniles.

"ज़्यादातार बच्चे जो पेंटिंग सीखने आते हैं, वो या तो कम पढ़े लिखे होते हैं या अनपढ़ होते हैं | कला उन्हें आज़ादी देती है। उन्हें ये छूट देती है कि जो वो कहना चाहते है, वो रंगो या पेंसिल के जरिए कह दें। सबसे ज्यादा चौंकाने वाली वो तस्वीरे होती है जिसमें ये युवक अपने अपराध को चित्र के जरिए प्रस्तुत करते हैं | वो सीन ऑफ क्राइम को ड्रा करते हैं और अपनी कहानी को कैनवास पर बना देते हैं | कई बच्चे ऐसे भी हुए कि जब वो कोर्ट में सुनवाई के लिए गए तो वापस लौटने पर उन्होंने वहां पर जो देखा उसको उन्होंने ड्रा किया | कुल मिला कर इन बच्चों के जो अनुभव है, उन्हीं से इनकी बनाई हुई पेंटिंग्स प्रभावित होती है |"
