Amcha Ghar Balgruh came into existence since 1996. It is a shelter home for the underprivileged,  orphan & semi-orphan girls, between the age group of 6-18 years.  A home that started with 4 beneficiaries is now a  home for 25. Apart from residence, these beneficiaries are given formal English Medium education, medical, recreational, self-defense, and spiritual facilities in a homely atmosphere until they become independent and are able to join the mainstream of society. This home functions under the Juvenile Justice Act (J J Act) & the beneficiaries that come to Amcha Ghar are sanctioned by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). 

​

Nearly  90 beneficiaries of Amcha Ghar Balgruh have been re-integrated back into society. They are either married or have completed their higher studies like Civil engineering, MBA, MA, hotel management, IATA, computer hardware, fashion Design, interior designing, nursing, D.ed studies, etc. This has led our beneficiaries to join the international cruise liners IT dept. and food & beverage service. Some are working as teachers in govt. schools, digital executives at corporate travel companies, receptionists at reputed pharmaceutical companies, accountants at automation companies, etc.
