The Telangana Prisons Department on Saturday said it has entered into an agreement with Indian Oil Corporation to provide employment to former women convicts or under-trial women at petrol pumps in the state.
Apart from ex-convicts (who have served their prison term) and those who are facing trial and are out on bail, the initiative also aims to cover other needy women by providing them employment.
“We request all women ex-convicts and UT (under-trial) prisoners, single women or widows or destitute women to approach the jail superintendents in their districts for employment at petrol pumps in the same district for salary of Rs 9,000 and above,” said V K Singh, Director General of Prisons and Correctional Services.
The Prisons Department aims to provide employment to as many as 2,000 women including ex-convicts in various industries this year, Singh said. The objective is to curb crime by providing employment to poor women, he added.
