ABOUT US

BALGRAN was established in 1975 at Channi Rama behind Railway Station, Jammu. Since then it has expanded its services for children in need at a rapid pace. First dormitory was inaugurated by Jenab Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, Chief Minister of J&K state on 24th April,1978. BALGRAN is a Recipient of NATIONAL AWARD for child welfare 1999. At present there are 120 inmates including 37 girls as on 1st June 2020. Due to the prevailing conditions of Covid-19 pandemic, fresh admission of deserving children to BALGRAN could not be made, despite availability of new accommodation for twenty five more boys and girls.

Area of land occupied by BAGLRAN is 4.5 acres (36 Kanals). The Jammu and Kashmir Government has appreciated the work of BALGRAN and has recommended it to other organizations in our state to follow this pattern.

After 45 years of establishment, many allied projects such as Children Health Centre with additional facility of Dental Care. Balgran Charitable Trust, Bal Bharti Public School with Smart Classes, Vocational and Computer centres have been established successfully.

In total BALGRAN has 13 dormitories and are divided into three sections:

  1. 1. Boys section(8 dormitories)
  2. 2. Girls section(2 dormitories & one under construction)
  3. 3. Young children section(3 Dormitories)

These are under the supervision of Warden, Mother, Assistant Warden and Helpers. Each dormitory can accommodate ten inmates. Manager, BALGRAN is the overall Incharge of the Home and is responsible for discipline, education, health, catering and all other activities of the home.
