Colors in their hands also made a substantial improvement in their mental health. One of them had tried committing suicide a few days back. While number of deaths in prisons has increased from 1,887 in 2020 to 2,116 in 2021, having increased by 12.1%., art and creativity in prisons can bring a huge change in the prison atmosphere. Today, on World Suicide Prevention Day: this special episode is dedicated to all prison officers, staff and inmates who are trying to recreate in prisons. Interestingly, this was the first jail radio started by Tinka Tinka Foundation. It moved further in other jails . Agra Jail Radio was part of a special action-oriented work that was evaluated as OUTSTADING by ICSSR. Thanks to Shri Anand Kumar, Shri Shashi Kant Mishra , Shri Sanjeev Kumar Singh, Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh, Shri K.P. Singh, Shri Jeevan Singh and Shri Harvansh Pandey for their constant support.
