Bala Bharati
Bala Bharati, a special project of Samskrita Bharati - an innovative scheme to introduce Samskritam in schools. This scheme envisages teaching the student, the basics of Samskritam outside the regular syllabus in a phased manner for 6 years starting from 3 standard or 4 standard so that by the time they reach senior classes, they are ready to learn the language more seriously. A set of 6 courses (Latika, Mallika, Kalika, Maalika, Vatika, Geetika) have been designed to be taught by the existing teachers through a novel interactive system. Samskrita Bharati will conduct orientation classes for the teachers periodically, to familiarize them with the system. Each course has a book that has to be completed within 35 periods. The school is expected to provide one period per week for this purpose.
Already around 120 schools in Tamilnadu, have adopted this scheme in their system and nearly 50000 students have been enrolled.
