Haryana Prisons Department Collaboration with ICAR-NDRI
The Haryana Prisons Department has embarked on a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the skills of its inmates through a strategic partnership with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - National Dairy Research Institute (ICAR-NDRI). This collaboration is set to provide training in animal husbandry and milk processing, offering inmates valuable skills that can aid in their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
Key Partnership Details
The partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the two entities. The MoU was signed by Dheer Singh, the Director of NDRI, and Lakhbir Singh Brar, the Superintendent of Karnal District Jail, marking the beginning of a collaborative effort to introduce structured training programs within the prison system.
Training Programs and Objectives
Under this partnership, inmates will receive comprehensive training in various aspects of animal husbandry and milk processing. These programs are designed to equip inmates with practical skills that are not only relevant to the dairy industry but also capable of enhancing their employability upon release. The initiative aligns with broader goals of rehabilitation and skill development, providing inmates with opportunities to contribute positively to society.
Significance of the Initiative
This initiative represents a progressive step towards transforming the correctional facilities in Haryana into centers of learning and development. By focusing on skill enhancement and industry-specific training, the Haryana Prisons Department is not only addressing the immediate needs of inmates but also contributing to the larger goal of reducing recidivism through education and empowerment.
