Bala Mandir Resource Centre
Inaugurated in 2005, the Bala Mandir Resource Centre serves as a hub for parents, voluntary organisations, and professionals to come together and enhance their understanding of parenting and childcare. It provides a variety of services aimed at supporting families and improving child development. Parents can access professional counselling and advice on a wide array of issues. The Centre also features a well-equipped conference room that hosts meetings, seminars, and discussions, serving as a forum for interactive dialogues among stakeholders. Additionally, the Centre’s library offers a selection of resource and reference materials, including books, videos, and films on childcare and parenting, as well as teaching aids in various local languages. The library is open to all members of the public, including researchers, professionals, and parents.
