Bala Vikasa Kendram (BVK)
The aim of BVK is to rescue child workers below 14 years and create legal/deterrent awareness among employers against employing child workers below 14 years and ensure rights, safe and healthy environment for child workers above 14 years and create demand for education among the people of the project area, especially the parents. BVK also is the centre for the Youth Parliament for the child workers above 15 years. So far, a total of 8751 children, below 14 years, were rescued since 2002.
Under the Bala Vika Kendra (BVK) initiative, we are providing free stitching training for housewives as part of our women’s empowerment program. Housewives from Autonagar and nearby areas are participating in this three-month course. Upon completion, many are engaging in stitching work from home, enabling them to achieve financial independence.
