Concept......
Balasabhas are grass root level groups
of the children of BPL families. They
can be viewed as aftermaths of Neighbourhood Groups
formed under Kudumbashree mission. The
mission organises the children of the poor families
of the State into Balasabhas as a part of it’s holistic approach to wipe out poverty. Catch them young and nip poverty in the
buds is the guiding principle behind the Balasabha
movement initiated by the Mission. All that are required to ensure the overall
development of the children of the BPL families are matters of great concern
and keen interest to Kudumbashree.
Capacity building, cultivation of creative potentials, ensuring of opportunities
to express, learn and develop, offering opportunity to identify and nurture
innate talents – Balasabhas leave no stone unturned
to boost the healthy growth and development of children. Balasabhas provide
an ideal atmosphere for informal learning.
They also supplement services required for the proper development of
children. 45262 Balasabhas with 791693 children have already formed
under Kudumbashree. Each Balasabha provides a new rhythm and harmony to children and
enlightens their lives. The ultimate aim
is to emancipate the young generation of the BPL families from the vicious
circle of poverty.
