Wisdom
Education Wing
The Education Wing develops human values in children, youth and parents. At its heart is the Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas programme.
What does the Education Wing do?
The Education Wing helps children and families live by the human values: truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence. Its main programme is Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas, for children up to the age of 15.
Alongside Bal Vikas, the wing runs courses for youth on human values, Indian culture and spirituality, and value-based parenting programmes for mothers and fathers.
“The Bal Vikas is the primary basis of the great movement to restore dharma (righteousness) in the world.”
