The Bal Vikas programme is conducted on every Sunday for 1 Hr 30 minutes only through the use of five teaching techniques - Silent sitting/ guided visualization, Story-telling, Prayers, Group singing, Group Activities. For the success of this programme the children are taught daily introspection and the older children are given spiritual diaries to aid them in this process of character development. The cooperation of the parents is imperative if the instruction given in the classes is to have the desired result. Keeping this in mind, the Bal Vikas guru remains in touch with the parents, through regular meetings.
