The Bal Sabha is a group where children meet weekly to learn about their rights through play-way based education. In one of the meetings, the children identified an issue of unclean drainage & garbage collection and reached out to the BMC. After follow-up, BMC took active action and now cleans the drainage and garbage daily. The children’s confidence has improved and their parents feel proud of this achievement.

Drinking Water Issues Resolved
Tamnath village in Karjat, Raigad District faced water scarcity due to the well water levels going down in summers. The Gram Panchayat dug borewells, but they failed. Villagers wrote an application for tap water scheme and followed up with authorities. They started getting tap water from April 2023. Now, villagers use tap water for household activities and have learned the importance of following up on applications and inquiring about schemes.
Villagers get a Balwadi after a long Struggle
The children of Halbudrukh Wadi did not have a place for their Bal Sabha Meetings. Their meetings were held either under a tree or at someone’s house. During one session the Wadi Prerika asked the children to identify an issue in their village. The children collectively answered that they needed a permanent place for their meetings.
