Campus Placements at Tihar Jail

Today I read an article about 14 inmates at Tihar Jail getting recruited in campus placements.Now this was something unusual and at least I heard of something like that for the first time.All the time we keep reading about the campus placements of the premier technical and management institutions of the country where we hear or read about the success stories of the creamy students getting landed into dream jobs offering millions of dollars but that was something which was clearly off the track.

You don't get to hear the name of Tihar jail in papers for any careers and placements related cause,all the time its about landing of some high profile criminals landing there when we see its name in the news papers.So a new like campus placements for prisoners was something catching the attention automatically.

In today's world when so called colleges which charge you a hefty amount of money are not able to make sure you land in a well deserved job or some which don't even get a single company on their campus but display 100% placements in their big ads leaving their students all cheated for their money such an effort by Tihar jail administration deserves a laud right from the heart for giving such an important opportunity to a prisoner to once again start his life from a new beginning.

46 inmates were interviewed out of which 14 got the offer letter and those who didn't are waiting for the next company to make their cut.The position offered varied from data entry operator to executive in marketing in companies of National Repute like Agarwal Packers and Movers,leading company in its niche.

I would really like to salute the spirit of jail officials and companies which came forward to help these people and gave them once again a chance to live life with dignity.

Among them there are many people who have completed their entire education in jail and now hold master level degrees.It clearly reflects their will to succeed in life because studying at a place like prison which I think is gonna to be the last place to be associated with something called education.These are the people which glarify the thought that nothing is impossible in life but at the same time it brings out a lesson for us that we sometimes don't understand the value of things we have,we don't care about how fortunate we are that we are able to go to good college and receive education and many of us just squander this opportunity.

So initiatives like this should be rewarded by the government and get support from our entrepreneurs and local pubic so that prisons no longer remain a place to rot and underground offices of our mafias but a place for reform which is the basic aim of making prisons. 

So instead of filling the columns of newspaper with praise of somebody who gets 1crore job in a MNC from topmost college of country its more fruitful to bring initiatives like this to the limelight because a person who lands in 1crore job doesn't need any top most college to transform him,you take the cream so you produce the cream as simple as that.That person was already polished diamond you just wrapped it up nicely and sold it in market.But it's people like prisoners who understand the value of freedom and to maintain a descent image in society once transformed so any effort which helps a man to give him another shot at life is worth the support and time to spend.So I hope all the deserving inmates land in a descent job and have a nice new life.
