concrete shape to this scheme. Under this scheme, 34 women prisoners form different jails
of the state have been transferred to the old Central Jail, Bhopal and they are being
training in making attractive and life-like- dolls from 20-3-1995. The period of training
is six months, But its continous upto one year is under consideration. Every women
prisoner is being given a stipend of Rs. 350/- per month by the Hastshilp Vikas Nigam. It
is proposed to sell the dolls made in the jails from the jails and through the Hostshilp
