Building & BaLA Initiatives

BaLA is an innovative concept towards qualitative improvement in education, through developing child-friendly, learning and fun-based physical environment building in school infrastructure. BaLA is a way to holistically plan and use the school infrastructure.

It incorporates the ideas of activity-based learning, child friendliness, and inclusive education for children with special needs (CWSN). At the core, it assumes that the architecture of the school can be a resource for the teaching-learning processes.

This concept was originally developed by Vinyas, Centre for Architectural Research & Design with support from UNICEF. KVS has decided to adopt the BaLA concept for its Vidyalayas. PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 4, Jaipur painted the walls of primary classes with alphabets, numbers, and tables.
