Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) is a noteworthy project supported by the Bihar Education Project Council in Patna. This initiative is being executed across six blocks in four districts, providing a residential educational environment exclusively for girls.
KGBV serves as a specialized school catering to girls aged 11 to 14+ years who, under normal circumstances, should have been attending regular schools but, for various reasons, dropped out. The primary goal of these schools is to ensure equitable access to quality education for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds by establishing residential institutions at the elementary level.
Currently, each KGBV hosts 100 girls from diverse backgrounds, including ST, SC, OBCs, minorities, and general classes. The school provides them with essential care and educational amenities, resulting in remarkable transformations in these children's lives within a short span of time.

In addition to other endeavours, it operates a children's home in Munger with the support of the State Child Protection Society in Bihar. This facility serves as a refuge for children who have veered off the right path, been trafficked, rescued from child labor, or have fled their homes. These children are typically referred to us by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).
The primary objective is to provide these children with a nurturing environment that fosters their life skills, offers quality education, ensures access to healthcare and sanitation, promotes mental and physical development through various activities and events, and provides vocational training.
More than a dozen children have successfully been reunited with their parents, while many others are currently thriving as they integrate into the mainstream community.

The old age home in Patna was established with an intention: to provide continuous care and medical attention in a safe and hygienic environment.

The primary objective is to provide a homely and nurturing environment for elderly and bedridden patients, ensuring their well-being and comfort.
