Phek district police in Nagaland have launched Project Revive on July 25 to provide livelihood training to 23 male inmates of the district jail. The project, conceived by Superintendent of Police Pritpal Kaur, started with vermicomposting training in partnership with KVK-ICAR and the District Legal Services Authority. Inmates will also receive red cauliflower seeds to cultivate within the jail premises. The second phase will focus on handicrafts like cane stools and furniture. Products will be sold in Kohima and Dimapur, with profits deposited into prisoners' bank accounts. Kaur, a dentist-turned-IPS officer, said the initiative aims to help inmates earn an honest living after their release.
