BLSP was founded & registered on 3 March 2000 with a vision of bringing all round development to the remote tribal villages of India. The charity runs Ekal Yidyalayas, where a local youth teaches children aged 6 to 14 for three hours daily using a non-formal approach that includes songs, storytelling, games, art and yoga. The students and their parents are taught principles of health and hygiene. Villagers are trained in agricultural techniques, and are made aware of government schemes from which they may benefit.
