Objectives
The Bal Vikas is the primary basis of the great movement to restore dharma (righteousness) in the world. The elders are far gone in their ways, and it is difficult to expect change in their habits and attitudes. Children have to be led into good ways of living, into simplicity, humility and discipline. Sri Sathya Sai, Bal Vikas Gurus Training Camp, 6-6-1978

Impact of Balvikas

Like the bamboo shoot that develops roots for many years before its growth, Balvikas develops their roots in morals and years after they graduate from the program, their thoughts are instinctively good and their actions naturally selfless. The ultimate impact of Balvikas is the unique and personal experience it creates for each and every individual as an outcome of their dedicated efforts towards self-transformation
