No water, No teacher ,No children at Jawhar Balbhawan Mandi....Sorry Children

Shockingly!!! play ground ,music room,auditorium,painting room,library, everything is there in place !!!!! But there are no children at Jawahar Balbhawan Mandi Road south Delhi. 
Bureaucracy is taking a toll of children's creativity ,talent and play. You can see children on road side playing instead of playing or attending creativity classes at Balbhawana.Bal Mandi Road .
Bhalbhawan has been offering many creative activities related to science, creative & performing arts, photography, physical activities for many decades. Bal Bhavan is  an Government run  institution supposed  to enhance the creative potential of children by providing them various activities, opportunities and common platform to interact, experiment, create and perform according to their age, aptitude and ability .

 It also aimed at providing  barrier-free environment with immense possibilities of innovation, minus any stress or strain.This year no teacher has been appointed for summer camps  till date and water shortage is on rampant. In previous years,more than two thousand children from more than twenty villages and slums in south Delhi and used to attend more than twenty activities....A big Sorry to children this year..
On 3rd February 1973 this village unit of Bal Bhavan was inaugurated by Suit. Indira Gandhi as Jawahar Bal Bhavan Mandi at the present 3.75 Acre land provided by the gram Panchayat of Mandi. This rural centre caters to the needs of children from villages of Mandi, Jaunapur, Gadaipur, Sultanpur, Manglapuri, Gwalpahari, Bandhwari, Bairumpur, Baas, Aya Nagar, Ghitorni, Chhattarpur, Maidan garhi, Rajpur, Satbari, Chandanhola, Fatehpur Beri, Dera, Bhatti Mines and Neb Sarai.
Activities of this Bal Bhavan include Physical Education, Art and Craft, Tailoring, wood craft and Clay Modeling. Mandi Bal Bhavan has greatly aroused the interest of village children and recently activities of photography and computer's have been added on popular demand.

Student Suicides and Why Young Voices Must Be at the Center

....This shift in narrative is important: it reflects the world we want — where  young professionals are trusted for their sensitivity and fresh perspective , and where treatment begins with  trust, compassion, and dignity , not fear or coercion.... World Mental Health Day– October 10, 2025 Recently, the leadership of Nada India Foundation met actor Amol Parashar in Delhi. We appreciated his courage in taking on socially responsive roles in web series such as  Gram Chikitsalay   and the live performance Besharam Aadmi .

To every young person who stayed, spoke up, stumbled, learned, and returned— thank you . You didn’t just join a program; you co-created safe, honest spaces for well-being. The Year Youth Led the Way  2025 was dedicated to the journeys that don’t come with neat maps.
