Indore (Madhya Pradesh): While many children spend their summer break in expensive hobby classes, a group of underprivileged kids in Indore enjoys the same joy of learning, completely free of cost.
Thanks to the Women and Child Development (WCD) Department, these children participate in a vibrant summer camp at Divisional Bal Bhavan, Old Palasia.
The camp offers training in classical dance, folk music, computer literacy, and creative arts. Children are learning Kathak, regional folk styles, and basic music elements such as sur, taal, and alankars under the guidance of expert instructors.
In addition to the cultural curriculum, participants are engaging in computer sessions and scientific workshops, many experiencing digital tools for the first time.
"This camp is not just a summer engagement, it’s a step toward equality. We want every child, no matter where they come from, to dream big and know they are no less than anyone," said VPS Rathore, assistant director of Bal Bhavan.
The initiative also supports women, especially widowed or single mothers affected by COVID-19. Several are receiving computer training aimed at boosting their employability and financial independence.
With over 50 children and women from urban slums, Anganwadis, and government schools participating, the camp runs daily from 11 am to 5 pm, transforming the venue into a hub of music, movement, art, and learning.
More than a seasonal activity, this camp is a powerful step in empowering communities, equipping participants with the skills, confidence, and vision to shape brighter, self-reliant futures.
