  1. Tinka Tinka is an umbrella embark on
    to connect prisons. Tinka Tinka became a bridge between the society. Dr. Vartika Nanda is a crusader on prison reforms and the first Indian to have started a continuous project solely on prison reforms. This initiative address things beyonds all the odd.
    She is credited to have curated and created the concept of awards for inmates and prison staff for the first time in India. Two awards exclusively for inmates – Tinka Tinka India Awards and Tinka Tinka Bandini Awards have been instituted by her as part of the effort.
    This is a very unique initiative which no one could even thought of. These awards are released on the Human Rights Day and Women’s Day. These awards dedicated to reformation and creativity within jails. The theme for paintings this year was Dreams inside Jails. Tinka Tinka India Awards had three categories this year–Painting, Special Talent and Awards for Jail Administrators.
    Tinka Tinka awards encouraged them to work harder and follow their passion. They are highly motivated by Vartika ma’am efforts. Seeing the encouragement of such prisoners gives us inspiration and we should inspire more such captives to take certain steps in prison.
