IndianOil expands its pioneering initiative for Prison Inmates and Correctional Homes

New Delhi, Dec 6 (UNI) In its endeavor to bring a change in the lives of prison inmates and children in correctional homes, states owned oil firm Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has launched the next phase of IndiaOil’s “Parivartan – Prison to Pride” and “Nayi Disha – Redefining the Future”, a move that would touch the lives of 1650 individuals across 28 prisons and 14 correctional homes.
Inaugurating the ninth phase of unique social stewardship programmes, IOC Chairman A S Sahney shared that he is immensely proud that IndianOil is providing second chances to prisoners and giving purpose in the form of sports.
“In the last 38 months, these programmes have reached 150 locations across 29 states and Union Territories. Over 7,300 lives have been impacted and these efforts resonate with IndianOil’s ethos of ‘Nation First,’ reflecting our commitment to go beyond business and support the most vulnerable,” he mentioned.
Highlighting the other welfare initiatives at Indian prisons, Mr. Sahney mentioned, “Beyond these commendable initiatives, we are also transforming lives through our Umeed – A Hope project. In collaboration with the State Prison Departments, we have established fuel stations operated by current and former inmates. Additionally, the opening of the first Tihar Jail Store (TJ’s) at an IndianOil fuel station in New Delhi last year marked a milestone in mainstreaming marginalised communities.
On the occasion, the participating State government officials and prison authorities thanked IndianOil for this unique intervention that will help the inmates and children in correctional homes build a better life and contribute fruitfully to society.
Parivartan - Prison to Pride, which was launched on August 15, 2021, coinciding with India's 75th Year of Independence celebrations under the Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav. The Corporation had also launched the first phase of this prestigious programme on January 26, 2023. With today’s launch, the initiative now empowers over 8950 inmates and children in correctional homes at 192 locations across 29 states and Union Territories, through ten sports. The initiative not only offers coaching facilities but also provides equipment and kits for the participants.
