Creating rainbows in prisons
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. She is the founder of Tinka Tinka foundation and brings a ray of light full of hopes in the lives of inmates. This initiative address things beyonds all the odd. Her distinguished contribution in the field of humans rights and prison reforms.
She is credited to have curated and created the concept of awards for inmates and prison staff for the first time in India. This is a very unique initiative which no one could even thought of.
Two awards exclusively for inmates – Tinka Tinka India Awards and Tinka Tinka Bandini Awards have been instituted by her as part of the effort. There were a total of 15 Awardees and inmates from Chattisgarh, UP, Uttarakhand, and Gujarat bagged most of the awards. Her name has been included in the Limca Book of Records twice for her unique work on prison reforms.
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.

We come across various awards ceremonies each day, some honoring the works in the field of arts, some in academics, some for contributions to society and so many more. But for the first time ever, the efforts and talents of jail inmates have been recognized, honored and encouraged by Tinka Tinka prison reforms movement. In the form of #TTIA and #tinkatinka bandini awards, this model of prison reforms has paved a path for the encouragement of good work, showcasing talents and skills and reforming the lives of jail inmates. Female inmates who have contributed to society and inspired their fellow female inmates by giving their lives in jail a new meaning through their work were awarded by Tinka tinka bandini awards,encouraging those who already are on the path of upliftment and giving hope to those inside jails who wish to follow the lead of the awardees. #tinkatinka #vartikananda #prisonreforms #jailreforms #women #womenempowerment #womenawards #awards
Dr. Vartika Nanda is doing phenomenal work in prison reforms. Tinka Tinka India award will give incentive to inmates to develop their talents and creativity. It is also very good to know that organizations are recognizing the hard work of prison staff and administrations. It will motivate them to do better. She has written three books Tinka Tinka Tihar, Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh, Tinka Dasna, and gives a true representation of life inside prisons. Instead of sensationalizing, she has written about the true and lived experiences of inmates and even their children who unfortunately are also lodged inside prisons. She brings a softer side to inmates who are troubled because they can’t meet their families, but even the smallest of things gives them joy like music, dancing, painting, etc. Her newest initiative is opening a prison radio in Haryana, she has earlier done so in Agra. Workshops were held to train inmates and to develop their talents and creativity. The work of Dr. Vartika Nanda, the founder of the movement of prison reforms in India, is a testament to the idea that rehabilitation and not punishment is the answer. The radio will also keep the inmates informed about their rights and will give them respite in these challenging times of the pandemic when the inmates cannot have any visitors.#tinkatinka #tinkamodelofprisonreforms#awards #vartikananda #prisonreforms
