2. Who
Bal Utsav
Bal Utsav brings life-changing education to children living in poverty around the
world.
We do this by providing holistic interventions to revitalize Government Schools
benefiting millions by making focussed and sustainable interventions in
- Infrastructure - Scholarships
- Teacher Development - WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene)
3. Who
Bal Utsav
EDUCATING CHILDREN IN
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
- 4% Children never Start School
- 57% Children Don’t complete
Primary School, and
- Almost 90% Children will not
complete secondary school.
- Clearly, the Public education
system is broken. Unless the
problem is addressed quickly,
young Children would grow to
join the swelling ranks of the
‘Unemployables’ in the country.
4. Who
Bal Utsav
- Many children from underserved
backgrounds who are studying in
Government schools are first-
generation learners.
- Their parents have no academic
background or formal education
on any level. This leaves these
children at a disadvantage.
- To help these children, Bal Utsav
has created a supplemental
education program in its Whole
School Revitalization Program -
Sampoorna Shaala™.
- Some children also received
scholarships to help them
continue their studies in public
schools or in higher education
