  1. It is said that a person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected. Tinka Tinka's initiative to find the hidden talents within the inmates and giving them a platform would definitely be the most appropriate way, in my opinion, to give these people a chance for betterment. These awards are "national awards" and would attract more people to join the movement which would definitely reduce their tendency to commit crime once they're out of the prison, and help them not to get into that dark world again.

  2. It is great news that Tinka Tinka Movement has completed five years and in 2019, Tinka Tinka Awards were conducted for the fifth time. The general opinion about prisons is that it is a place meant for people who have committed offences and no one could have thought that prison inmates can be creative and talented. From the above articles we can understand that there are many prisoners and prison authorities who have done so much during their time in prisons. They deserve to be praised for their work. Tinka Tinka Awards is a message to the inmates that they can form an identity for themselves through their talent. #tinkatinka #vartikananda #prisonreforms

  3. one and only type of national awards given to inmates
    This gave me goosebumps! its so ironic to see how can a low point of someone's lives actually get the best out of them. somewhere deep down inside these inmates are challenging their destiny by giving it back with a smile and some beautiful art.
    Feeling Proud!

  4. Tinka Tinka Awards happens to give the boost to inmates to go on and explore and shape their talents and this can make people better human beings because that would lead to exploring one's inner personality. #tinkatinka #vartikananda #jail #prison

  5. Creativity can help one let go of a lot of what disrupts his/her peace of mind. It has the potential to introduce someone to appreciation. Appreciation is important in the lives of these inmates because they are already seen as an outcast in society. It’s a hope to any inmate who thinks his/her past makes him/her unworthy of appreciation and just a subject of criticism. Giving them awards to appreciate their work is the one step up for their creativity. If someone is willing to change we ought to make it easier for them, that’s what Tinka Tinka Foundation aims for and that’s what they are efficiently pursuing. I’m glad someone is making us think about and question the general perceptions.
