Literate Telangana prisoners teach illiterate inmates
Literate prisoners in Telangana educate their fellow illiterate inmates under the state government’s ‘Vidyadanam Scheme’. “We also have the system of taking monthly examinations… [and] a three-month semester system,” Director General (Prisons) VK Singh said. Through this, the government has been able to provide literacy to 29,000 prisoners in 2015 and 17,000 prisoners so far in 2016, Singh added.
