Description: India Vision Foundation is an NGO based and headquartered in New Delhi. Our organization is committed to rebuild the lives of the imprisoned and those whose families have a history of incarceration from Central Prison, Tihar Jail. Our primary objective is to provide our target population with social skills, vocational training and ample opportunity, increasing their employability and enabling their smooth transition to becoming 'mainstream'.Our Chairperson- Her Vision Dr. Kiran BediDr. Kiran Bedi, India's first woman police officer, was posted as the Inspector General Prisons of Tihar - the world's largest prison, in terms of population (housing nearly 10, 000 inmates at a time), during 1993 - 95. She is the first woman officer in the world to run a male prison of such a magnitude. India Vision Foundation was born with the receipt of the Ramon Magsaysay Award by Dr Kiran Bedi in the year 1994. The India Vision Foundation began its work inside the prison, by setting up a bread making unit within the Prison, for the welfare of the inmates. The profits earned went to the Prisoner's Welfare Fund. The India Vision Foundation also set up a Plant Nursery where rare saplings were grown and marketed outside. The proceeds again went to the welfare fund. The Foundation also made a video documentary on the life and reforms in Tihar Jail, with a view to promote the efforts of reformation and generation of community support.In India children are permitted to remain on prison premises along with their mother until the age of five. Thus, these children were equally imprisoned as mothers. Their little traumatized images kept haunting her. Something had to be done, not only while she was the Inspector General at Tihar, but even long after. Her belief of 'Saving the Next Victim' had to continue.India Vision Foundation (IVF) was born with the receipt of the Ramon Magsaysay Award by Dr Kiran Bedi in the year 1994.
