Across India, more than 150,000 boys and girls take part in over 8,500 bal and balika mandals. Around 17,000 karyakars help run these activities for children.
Annual Regional Training Camps help these karyakars to strengthen their satsang and learn new ways to serve the children better.
During July and August 2025, 25 Regional Training Camps were held at BAPS mandirs across India on the theme ‘Be A Perfect Karyakar’ to help the volunteers improve their skills and seva.
Volunteers learned how to tell stories in a simple and enjoyable way for children as a powerful way to teach them values and culture. Volunteers were also guided on how to create and conduct fun games that keep children excited and engaged.
Other sessions demonstrated how videos and other media can be used to make bal sabhas more informative, interesting, and impactful.
In addition, the camps included activities, video shows, and discussions that gave valuable insights to the karyakars.
