INVC NEWS Chandigarh, Haryana Urban Local Bodies Minister Mrs Kavita Jain has decided to give Rs 50,000 to each of the 19 district jails, out of her discretionary funds, so as to make available quality literary and religious books to the prisoners lodged in these jails.

While stating this today, the Minister said that the Jail Superintendents would constitute committees for purchase of literature for libraries established in each jail. The grant would be released directly to the Jail Superintendents concerned at the earliest. These books would be available for reading in jail libraries.

The Minister said that it is the responsibility of the government to connect every citizen of the state with its cultural heritage. Provision of such reading material could also help the prisoners in giving up the tendency of committing crime. Also, these books would increase the knowledge of prisoners.

It may be recalled that when the Minister was invited by Jail Administration in Sonipat district Jail on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti,she could not attend the function due to her pre occupations. However, in this programme, Swami Gyananand Ji Maharaj urged the Jail Administration for enhancing the quality of literature being provided to prisoners. Taking note of the advise of Swami Gyananand Ji Maharaj, the Minister decided to provide literary and other religious books in all district jails for their inmates.
