 Vatsalya Shiksha Niketan School has been operating since 2011. The school caters primarily to poor rural communities and so most children who attend the school have parents who are daily wage laborers. The parents leave in the morning around 7 or 8am and come back by 6 or 7pm. This means that their children are on their own for most of the day. The school operates from 7 AM to 7 PM, giving the children education, meals, and care. Many of the children live full time in dorms at the school. |  Children at Vatsalya school applying a bindi. |  Meal time at Vatsalya school. |
