Our Story
"Our organisation was envisaged during the post-graduation years of our founder, Mr. Praveen Kumar when he visited the district prison of Kalyan, Maharashtra as a part of his field visit while pursuing his MA in Social Work, Criminology and Justice from TISS, Mumbai. He conducted a preliminary research and comprehended the importance of working within Criminal Justice Systems in his home State of Bihar. He was awarded a Criminal Justice Fellowship, TISS when he shared his idea with his mentor Prof. Vijay Raghavan. He initiated the work in 2016 and consequently received permission from the Chief Justice of Patna High Court Justice Iqbal Ahmed Ansari and Justice Rajendra Menon, to work inside the prison. Further, he collaborated with our co-founder Mr. Shubhendu Shekhar and Mr. Santosh Kumar to commence the organisation LAW Foundation."
