Throughout the year, IBJ India implements a series of impactful measures, including specially curated virtual sessions, legal aid camps, and skill development programs conducted at Tihar Jail No. 6.
These virtual platforms serve as crucial avenues of support, offering not only counseling and legal advice but also invaluable insights into the complex legal matters that affect the inmates. Through active participation in these sessions, women inmates gain a deeper understanding of their legal rights.
Beyond advisory roles, IBJ India ensures that women inmates remain well-informed about the progress of their cases. Regular briefings by IBJ India lawyers on court proceedings foster transparency and trust, bolstering the inmates’ confidence in the legal system and affirming their rights.
Crafting Futures: IBJ India and Gems and Jewellery Skill Council empower female inmates with jewellery design training, catalyzing personal growth and professional development behind bars.
A significant milestone in IBJ India’s efforts was the signing of a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding on March 25, 2017, with the Gems and Jewellery Skill Council of India. This agreement marked a transformative step towards skill enhancement for jail inmates, particularly in fashion and imitation jewellery. Over three years, around 30 female inmates from Central Jail No. 6 received basic training in hand sketch jewellery designing, leading to the issuance of certificates upon successful completion. Building on this foundation, IBJ India expanded its program to include advanced courses, benefiting selected inmates and further nurturing their talents.
Restoring dignity through compassion: IBJ India partners with IP College and Tihar Prisons to bring essential psychological support to women under-trial prisoners.

This community outreach project aims to provide much-needed psychological assistance to under-trials, spanning a comprehensive program over 14 weeks.
Recognizing the emotional and mental challenges faced by incarcerated individuals awaiting trial, this initiative seeks to offer therapeutic support and counseling sessions tailored to their specific needs. By leveraging the expertise of IP College’s Psychology Department and the logistical support of Tihar Prisons, IBJ India aims to enhance the psychological well-being of under-trial prisoners, fostering resilience and emotional stability during a challenging period of uncertainty.
