Give on Children's Day

14 November

Children's Day is a good day to give to children. Bal Sansar Sanstha has run its own programmes in Rajasthan since 1992: a village school in Ajmer district and the health centre beside it. A gift today goes to those, and the accounts are published.

A gift joins the fund behind our school and the health centre. Every programme figure on this site names its year and the report it came from, and our audited accounts are public.

What a gift joins

BSS runs these itself. There is no intermediary between a donation and the work. Both figures below are the ones in the annual report, and each links to the programme's own page.

A village school

Bal Sansar Public School teaches 155+ children in Hathikhera, Ajmer district, from pre-primary to Class 8, 60% of them girls. Every Class 5 and Class 8 candidate who sat the Rajasthan Board examinations in 2025-26 passed, all in the first division. Fees are kept flexible and subsidised so that no child is turned away. The school also holds a children's fair every 14 November, with food prepared by teachers and stalls run by senior students, alongside games and sports.

About the school

A health centre beside the school

The Aarogyam Kendra at Hathikhera is 1,517 sq. ft., built for women, adolescents and children in villages where reaching a health facility has meant travelling for it. Cochin Shipyard's CSR grant paid for the building; running it is ours.

Before you give

BSS is registered under Section 80G — now Section 133 of the Income-tax Act, 2025. Whether you can claim the deduction depends on your tax regime: it is available under the OLD regime, and the default new regime under Section 115BAC does not allow it. Share your PAN when you give, so the donation can be reported and your certificate generated from that filing.

To put a gift towards one programme in particular, email [email protected] and say so. There is no box for it on the form, and we would rather tell you that than have you look for one.

From your gift to your tax certificate

  1. 1

    Donate through a traceable payment mode

    The donation form asks for your PAN. It is optional for donating, but essential for claiming.

  2. 2

    Keep the receipt we email you

    After a successful donation, a receipt arrives in your inbox automatically, carrying our 80G registration number.

  3. 3

    We file Form 10BD

    After the financial year closes, Bal Sansar Sanstha files Form 10BD (now Form 113) — a donor-wise statement of every donation received — with the Income Tax Department.

  4. 4

    You receive Form 10BE

    Based on that filing, a Form 10BE (now Form 114) certificate is generated for each donor, the document you use to claim the deduction in your return, which is available only under the old tax regime.
