Women & Girls
महिला एवं बालिका विकास
Women's development and gender issues are written into Bal Sansar Sanstha's founding objectives. Three decades of that work run through our programmes — a village school where girls are the majority, adolescent health outreach across two districts, and a legacy of skill training and radio education for rural women.
Where this work happens now
Two active programmes carry most of BSS's work with women and girls — one in a classroom, one across thirty village councils.
A school where girls are the majority
At Bal Sansar Public School in Hathikhera, Ajmer district, 60% of the 155+ students are girls — from pre-primary through Class 8. Fees are kept flexible and subsidised, so no girl's education ends over a fee her family cannot pay.
About the school
Adolescent health, taken into villages
The Taiyari programme builds awareness of health, nutrition, reproductive health and life skills among adolescents — particularly girls in rural areas — across 30 Gram Panchayats in Ajmer and Tonk districts: 1,800 direct beneficiaries, 20,000+ people reached indirectly.
