The initiative is part of a broader rehabilitation programme aimed at providing meaningful employment to the inmates while equipping them with vocational skills that can help them reintegrate into the society after their release. According to a senior prison officer, a dedicated unit for manufacturing these files and boards has been set up inside Jail No. 2, engaging more than 50 inmates.
