  1. The use of Sanitizers and masks are really on a rise now and everyone needs it badly! Thanks to these inmates from the jail who have been working hard stitching masks as well as making sanitizers. Moreover, the fact that they have made more than 87000 masks is very surprising!!! #tinkatinka #vartikananda #jail

  2. When someone goes into jail people just starting judging and give them label they are never going to change but it’s not the case with most of it. We need to understand their stories, their reasons behind it, and try to change. Tinka Tinka & Vartika Nanda is constantly working to reform people for their betterment and trying to collect stories and experience to help others so past won’t be repeated. These inmates are working for the betterment of the country. Their hard work is contributing to this pandemic, people can change thought their life sentences they are making their end days useful this is a success.
