Introduction
Genesis
A group of youth having strong faith in the ideologies of Shri Jayprakash Narayan established BALSK in 1982. These youths were the part of the youth wing called “Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Vahini”. Initially, the group worked as a community volunteers for years with continuing efforts for community empowerment. In the initial stages, formation and strengthening of the village level institutions was the basics of the intervention.
