New Delhi, [17 April] Tinka Tinka Foundation has launched Tinka Jail Pathshala (TJP), an educational platform under its prison communication mandate that will make recorded master classes available to inmates lodged in prisons across India. The initiative will offer lessons in Hindi and English through prison-approved systems. This platform was released today by Professor K. G. Suresh, Director, India Habitat Centre. While releasing it, he said, “Jails are meant to be reformatories.

Apart from vocational courses aimed at the rehabilitation of the inmates, values, ethics and lessons in personality development, time management and life skills too should be imparted to them. Professor Nanda’s initiative is a laudable significant step in that direction " said Professor Suresh who has also in the past served as the Director General of IIMC and Vice Chancellor of Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Mass Communication.

आप शायद उस वर्तिका को नहीं जानते होंगे जो 90 के दशक में अंबाला से शताब्दी में रवाना हुई, दिल्ली पहुंची. IIIMC की प्रवेश परीक्षा में पहला स्थान मिला था. इंटरव्यू भी टॉप किया था और अब दिल्ली स्थाई ठिकाना होने वाला था. बाद के सालों में IIMC में एसोसिएट प्रोफेसर बनी और आज दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय में प्रोफेसर.
गाड़ी चली तो मेरे पीछे रेलवे का विशालकाय बंगला था, कुछ दिनो पहले अपनी कहानी- सितारों भरा आसमान- के पहले पुरस्कार के मिलने का संतोष था और था- पंजाब के आतंक की भयावह यादें.
मुझे सितारों और डर के बीच खुद को मजबूत करना था. तब टेलीविजन चैनलों की नौकरी, अध्यापन औऱ लेखन के बीच तिनका तिनका का जन्म हुअ.
सुबह अखबार मिले. दैनिक ट्रिब्यून से फोन आया था कि आज पूरे पेज का फीचर तिनका तिनका पर होगा. अखबार खोला. पंजाब, सितारों से भरा आसमान, सपने और इस दुनिया को बेहतर बनाने का संकल्प- कई भाव उमड़ते रहे.
तीन दशक और उस समाचार पत्र से इतना स्नेह. अभिभूत हूं. शुक्रिया Naresh Kaushal सर इस सम्मान के लिए. Arun Naithani जी इस विस्तार से , इस कदर डूब कर तिनका तिनका यात्रा पर लिखने के लिए. मेरे अंदर का छोटा शहर आज फिर से आश्वस्त हुआ.

आभार उन सबका जिन्होंने मुझ पर भरोसा किया. मेरे अध्यापक, सहकर्मी, छात्र, प्रकाशक, Delhi Police और देश की सभी जेलें.
Thank you to Tanu for this wonderful edit.
