BAL RASHMI means the radiance and glow of the morning sun emerging above the horizon like the sparking eyes of an infant, curious, aspirant and full of hope and cheer. Bal Rashmi was founded on Children’s Day the 14th November 1972 at Jaipur, Rajasthan, (India) with the motto of “Save Children Save Generation".
Initially four children of the untouchable community of scavengers were provided a home with complete care including the care of their emotions and psychological needs. This home gradually flourished by having four to twenty to hundred and then to hundred eighty three poor, destitute, downtrodden and orphan children without any discrimination of caste and creed.
Our experience with the Destitute Children made us realize that until welfare and development of the family and community as a whole especially the empowerment of girl child and women was taken into consideration the children welfare will remain a distance dream. The integrative approach expanded the dimension of Bal Rashmi and programmes of varied nature were undertaken for promoting and strengthening of the community based development of the people of the area.
Bal Rashmi is an established (NGO) non-political and non-profit making voluntary organization involved in child and women empowerment, awareness, training and capacity building of rural community, better shelter, income generation, water harvesting activities and upliftment activities in the district of Jaipur, Dausa, Tonk and Sawai- Madhopur in Rajasthan. It is at present working in 138 villages covering a population of over one hundred thousand.
