Thane Central Jail Hosts Annual Diwali Exhibition Showcasing Inmate Handicrafts
Thane Central Jail inaugurated its annual Diwali exhibition on November 4, showcasing handmade lanterns, earthen lamps, decorations, and festive snacks crafted by inmates. The event, opened by District Collector Dr. Shrikrishna Panchal, features QR codes providing detailed product information. It aims to promote inmate rehabilitation, skill development, and self-reliance, with support from the District Planning Fund. Officials hope the exhibition will help inmates earn livelihoods post-release and exceed last year's sales of three lakh rupees.
