A person who commits a crime has no notion what life in prison will be like and has no reservations about being subjected to harsh punishment. They gradually grow to understand the values of life, family, time, and society as each day in prison goes by. Their existence is crushed and their dreams are crushed by the struggles they endure each day while suffering behind the strong walls of the jails. There won't be anyone in the prison to express concern about the never-ending gloom. Dealing with these issues day in and day out will distance them from reality and normality, leaving them unable to cope with their horrible lot. They lose the ability and resistance to deal with issues that severely harm their psychological, emotional, and bodily well-being.

​

The Crime-Free India Mission aims to teach the average person how to examine an issue from a psychological perspective and that committing a crime is not a way to solve their personal, societal, or economic problems. We discuss the underlying factors that led to a crime and its effects on the victim's family. We'll have enlightening conversations about all facets of crime prevention in India and around the globe.

​​

We would invite former inmates, affected family members, police and prison officials, human rights advocates, legal professionals, and judicial officials to events and awareness camps we would arrange to fulfil this noble purpose.
 

Appeal for Support, Help Us Build the Crime-Free India Mission Centre in Melur, Madurai District.

​

Dear Sir / Madam,

​

Warm greetings from Global Network for Equality (GNE) – India.

​

We write to you with deep hope and urgency. As someone who shares our belief in a just and compassionate society, we invite you to stand with us once again, this time to help lay the foundation for a transformative project: the Crime-Free India Mission Centre in Melur, Madurai District.
 

At GNE-India, we have seen firsthand how crime doesn't only affect the victim and the accused—it fractures entire families and communities. In Tamil Nadu, especially in Tirunelveli and Madurai, the children of crime victims and even of the accused are often left behind, isolated, and vulnerable to stigma, poverty, and cycles of violence. GNE was founded to break this cycle.

Let us share two stories that reflect the heart of our mission:

• Kamala, born in Tirunelveli, grew up in the shadows of violence, loss, and despair. Society shunned her, branding her a criminal before she could even dream. Global Network for Equality – India gave her hope, education, and healing. Today, she shines as a postgraduate — proof that broken lives can bloom again.

• Mukesh, born in Tuticorin, carried the burden of his father’s life sentence. Struggling to survive, his mother worked in the matchbox industry to make ends meet. With the support of Global Network for Equality – India, his life took a new path. Today, he stands tall as a graduate, proudly serving in the Indian Army.

These are not isolated cases. They are the reason we are committed to creating a permanent space of hope, healing, and transformation—the Crime-Free India Mission Centre.

This Centre will serve as:

• A place of healing for crime victims and their families.

• A hub for youth empowerment through education and leadership.

• A space for policy dialogue on restorative justice.

• A bridge for reformed prisoners to reintegrate with dignity.

• A catalyst for change through collaboration with civil society, government, and academia.

Strategically located near the upcoming prison facility in Melur, the Centre will enable timely outreach and rehabilitation. We aim to acquire 3 acres of land (approx. ₹50,00,000) and begin Phase-I construction (approx. ₹25,00,000), bringing the total estimated cost to ₹75,00,000.

To make this vision a reality, we humbly seek your generous support, whether through an initial contribution to our dedicated Corpus Fund or by helping us connect with others who share our vision and could financially contribute.

To ensure transparency and integrity, we will:

• Maintain a separate, auditable bank account.

• Appoint an independent audit firm.

• Establish an Advisory Board of respected citizens.

​

We also intend to recognise our key supporters by placing a commemorative plaque at the Centre, honouring your commitment to justice and compassion.

Please know that the Centre will be strictly non-political and non-sectarian. Our only mission is to bring dignity, opportunity, and peace to those most affected by crime.

With your support, we can ensure that children like Kamala and youths like Mukesh never have to walk alone. Help us build a future where crime does not define a life, and where healing and hope have a permanent home.

With deepest gratitude and respect,
Yours sincerely,
K.R. Raja
