Bal Kalyan Sanstha, Pune is a Registered Society and a Public Charity Trust. The Board of Trustees consists of senior government officials and other dignitaries involved in public service and social work. The wife of Governor of Maharashtra is always the President of Bal Kalyan and an 'ex-officio' trustee. Mrs. Shanti Sadiq Ali was the Founding President of Bal Kalyan.
Qualified teachers and coaches create a positive, fun, and enlightening safe haven for disabled children. Activities provided by the Sanstha are available to all the handicapped children of Pune and the surrounding areas.
Bal Kalyan is a recreational and cultural centre that provides broad based facilities on a large scale. Soon after the center's official inauguration the number of children attending and participating in the activities increased. The first organized camp soon followed with 500 children from different institutions of Pune and Mumbai in attendance. That was in 1984 and since then the number of children has increased greatly.
The people of Bal Kalyan believe in providing these facilities to help in the growth and development of disabled children. Active participation in these activities helps in confidence building, independence, and personality development.
