Bal Niketan is an Indian NGO located in the Chandigarh/Panchkula
(Haryana) region offering a "Home" for orphan, destitute and abandoned children
from Haryana and adjoining areas. As such we are not just a mere orphanage but also
take care of deprived children from the weaker sections of society. Since 1983 we
have been helping children to become rehabilitated, to live with dignity as good
citizens and ultimately to stand on their own feet. We also offer free medical facilities
and vocational training. For our efforts in the field of child development we have
received the National Award for Child Welfare for
the year 2000

History |
It was an inspiration, a vision and then a commitment. Shri J.D. Sharma, a senior
I.A.S. Officer, while in his appointment as Vice Chancellor, Jammu University, in
late seventies, gets an inspiration from a renowned social worker, Mrs. Mekhla Jha,
wife of Shri L.K. Jha the Governor, Jammu & Kashmir. She had set up two destitute
children homes at Jammu & Srinagar, to look after and give them much needed parental
affection. This, coupled with the obsession of the invaluable words of Swami Vivekananda,
"THEY ALONE LIVE WHO LIVE FOR OTHERS", made the vision clear in his mind to set
up a home for destitute children of Haryana and adjoining areas to help them grow
and live with dignity and ultimately stand on their own feet through education and
Vocational Training.
