Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Every child in institutional care deserves a life of dignity and the chance to become self-reliant.

The government provides the roof.
We provide the childhood.

The problem we are solving

3.7 lakh children. A system that stops at eighteen.

These homes meet the bare minimum: a bed, three meals, school enrollment. But a childhood is not a checklist. No structured skill development. No emotional safety net. No preparation for the day these children turn 18 and the system simply stops.

A missed child is a missed citizen. Badlaav exists to make sure that does not happen.

Programme 01 · CARE

Creating A Road to Empowerment

8 Skill Clubs. Student CHAMPs at a 1:6 ratio. The children choose their club. They rise to lead it. 4 of 7 girls cleared the Sainik School written examination through Project Shaurya.

Sports · Computer · Music · Aptitude · Boxing · Literary · Arts and Craft · Yoga

Programme 02 · Dagdya

Student governance and community ownership

We do not appoint monitors. Children campaign, vote, and elect. A democratic Bal Sabha with 7 Ministries, 14 Team Members, a President, and a Vice President.

Learning · Growth · Sports · Health · Legal · Culture · Technology

Programme 03 · Camp Infinity

Experiential learning beyond four walls

Children who have never left a 4-kilometre radius cannot dream of what they have never seen. Annual retreats, Leadership Camp for 35 elected leaders, and exposure visits that change what feels possible.

A story of dignity reclaimed

मैं पहले सिर्फ सुनती थी।
अब मैं बोलती भी हूँ।

She entered the shelter home quietly. Just another shy girl in the corner. Then Bal Sabha elections happened. She campaigned. She spoke in front of  children. She took charge. She won. Today, staff no longer step in. They wait for Meenakshi and other leaders to take charge.

The strongest proof is not in reports. It is in seven people who came back.

The beneficiary became the stakeholder. The stakeholder became the leader. The leader became the facilitator.
