Bal Bhawan
1.0 Preamble
Consistent with our corporate philosophy, we have provided ample amenities for learning, welfare and entertainment of our employees and
their families at site. A need, in this context, has been felt to augment such facilities for children of not only our employees but also of those
who are residing nearby. Facilitation of holistic development of children will go a long way in our service to the society, nay, to the Nation at
large.
1.1 With a view therefore to nurture and nourish creative talent of children we may create a club where children from all walks of life get
opportunities to give expression to their latent energy/talent. Such a centre which could function at our school building or the like may be
called our Bal Bhavan.

iii. Children, from different strata of the society, will also learn to create and share amongst themselves.
iv. Bal Bhavan will thus help make them inculcate better values and thus grow into better citizens.
v. Leisure time of children of the area would be put to more meaningful use and would thus equip them to face challenges in life.

help to enrich various Bal Bhavans all over the country by providing national exposure, requisite training etc. For this purpose, they grant
