Meerut Jail's Radio Parvaaz Plays Inmates' Song Requests and Motivational Programs
Meerut district jail operates an internal radio station, Radio Parvaaz, launched in May to entertain inmates through daily song requests. Inmates submit requests anonymously, with popular songs from 1970s to 1990s focusing on themes of love, separation, betrayal, and family. The station, run by a trained inmate RJ, also broadcasts motivational talks and life skills programs. The jail houses about 1,900 male and 63 female inmates, some with children outside, who favor songs reminding them of family ties.
