All the female prisoners have been engaged in this work and the dividend received by selling the product in the market will be distributed among the female prisoners only. In this way, while on one hand the women prisoners will become skilled and self-reliant, on the other hand, various types of materials which cause dirt or pollution and which are otherwise considered sacred like cow dung and flowers offered at temples, will be used to remove dirt and pollution. This will help in saving from pollution. In future, this work will also be done by male servants and it will be expanded and given a larger form.

On the auspicious occasion of upcoming Diwali, organic lamps will be prepared in the jail with the help of cow dung and other sacred materials, which will be made available for sale to the general public. In this work, cooperation of voluntary organization Jai Ganesh Seva Samiti will be taken. For both these works, first of all the women prisoners are being trained by the chairperson of the voluntary organization Poonam Mehrotra and the women trainers so that all the women prisoners can be trained and the quality of production is also of high quality. Today, on this occasion, Jai Ganesh Seva Samiti President Poonam Mehrotra and her assistant trainers trained the prisoners and started production of incense. On this occasion, Jail Superintendent Mijajilal, Jailer Rajesh Kumar Pandey, Deputy Jailor Surendra Gautam and Poonam Tiwari were present.
