Telangana Prisons Department launches stress management, motivational retreats for personnel

Hyderabad, Nov 12 (UNI) The Telangana Prisons Department on Thursday launched a series of stress management and motivational retreats for prison personnel to promote mental well-being, emotional resilience and professional efficiency among its staff.
The initiative is being organised in collaboration with Ramakrishna Math, Hyderabad, with the inaugural programme inaugurated by Director General of Prisons and Correctional Services Dr Soumya Mishra and Swami Bodhamayananda Ji, Adhyaksha of Ramakrishna Math, Hyderabad.
Addressing the gathering, Dr Mishra said prison personnel, from warders to superintendents, work in a challenging environment involving continuous interaction with inmates, security management and maintenance of discipline, often exposing them to stress, mental fatigue and emotional pressure.
While the department is committed to the correction, rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners, equal importance should be given to the mental health and well-being of its personnel, she said, stressing that a peaceful mind, positive attitude and emotional balance were essential for effective and compassionate service.
Swami Bodhamayananda Ji, in his motivational address, highlighted the importance of inner strength, positive thinking, self-discipline and mental peace in personal and professional life.
A special meditation session was also conducted to familiarise participants with techniques for reducing stress, improving concentration and achieving emotional stability.
The programme will cover all personnel of the department, from warders to superintendents, in batches of 50 members each.
It aims to equip them with practical stress-management techniques and motivational guidance to cope with workplace pressures and improve their overall well-being.
Dr Mishra thanked Ramakrishna Math and Swami Bodhamayananda Ji for their support and urged the personnel to incorporate meditation and positive practices into their daily routines.
Inspector General of Prisons N. Murali Babu also attended the inaugural programme.
