National Forensic Sciences University, Ministry of Home Affairs, GOI: Training for prison officers from Mauritius: 30 July, 2026

Delivered a lecture on Case Studies in Correctional Administration: International Best Practices and Reformative Models at the National Forensic Sciences University, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. The session formed part of a two‑week training programme on Correctional Administration designed for prison officers from Mauritius.



During the talk, I highlighted several reformative initiatives undertaken by the Tinka Tinka Foundation in Indian prisons, showcasing innovative practices aimed at communication needs and human dignity in the correctional settings. I also shared insights from my visit to Mauritius prisons in August 2018, undertaken during the 11th Vishwa Hindi Sammelan in Port Louis. These experiences provided a comparative perspective on correctional systems and underscored the importance of cross‑cultural dialogue in advancing prison reforms. 



My talk was primarily focussed on prison radio. Mauritius jails have not introduced this concept yet. I hope the journey of Tinka Tinka inspires them to rewrite a new chapter. Radio in Prison by NBT India and J se Jail by Prabhat Prakashan were also discussed.
