Initially India Humanity Foundation (IHF) started its
adult literacy program in 8 correctional homes of West Bengal. The program received strong
interest and participation from inmate teachers, inmate learners, and welfare staff.
Encouraged by the positive impact and systematic implementation,
received a second
approval from the Directorate of Correctional Services, West Bengal to extend the program to
additional 18 correctional homes. Building on this momentum, they have now granted a third
approval to expand the program to 35 more correctional homes, taking the total to 61
correctional facilities across the state. As of now more than 2000 inmate learners have been
enrolled in the program out of which 800+ learners have completed the program.
