Our Strategy
The Bhavya Program has been in existence for the past eleven years. Till date, Bhavya has been functioning, largely, within other institutional settings.
Bhavya, in Bangalore, started functioning as an independent unit from June 2005. At present our children range in age 4 till 15 years.
In the first year, we expect an intake of twenty-five children. Keeping the child:adult ratio at 6:1 at the very early levels and increasing to 8:1 as the children grow older; we shall accommodate a maximum number of sixty children within a period of 6-7 years.
We have decided to keep our community small with reference to the number of children in the program. This enables us:
• To reach each individual child at both the emotional and academic levels so that every child grows into a well-balanced person, with clarity of thought and purpose.
• To interact closely with parents and thus appreciate their position more deeply.
• As adults working with children, to take our own understandings to a greater depth and extent as we evolve together with our children.
• To devote time and energy towards providing intensive and effective on-the-job training to the adults working with the children.
Infrastructure
We have leased a plot of land in Kodigehalli, Bangalore, for a period of 5 years, on which we have constructed our building. In the long term, we shall work towards acquiring a plot of land on which we shall construct our own building.
