7th ECREA Radio and Sound Conference, Spain: Tinka Tinka Foundation

Tinka Tinka Foundation proudly represented India at the prestigious 7th ECREA Radio and Sound Conference, held from September 6th to 8th, 2023, in Barcelona, Spain. Theme of the Conference for this year was 'Radio and Sound Ecosystems in the Platform Age.' Dr. Vartika Nanda, the founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation, delivered a detailed presentation on "Music on Prison Radio: Impact of Tinka Jail Radio on Inmates in Sonipat Prison, Haryana, India", in the panel on "Incarcerated sounds: Making radio within the prison ecosystem." 

During the presentation, Dr. Nanda introduced Tinka Tinka Foundation, a non-profit initiative and discussed the 'Tinka Model of Prison Radio' which has created systematic prison radios in District Jails of Agra (Uttar Pradesh), Dehradun (Uttarakhand), and the jails of Haryana.
