Evidence and Use

Evidence and Use | Bal Raksha Bharat

To guarantee the wide-scale success of any programme, collecting and analysing data becomes a poignant virtue. Introducing interventions and implementing modifications within Bal Raksha Bharat’s programmes have led to a larger success ratio through the Evidence & Use approach.

Bal Raksha Bharat was founded on the belief that every child has the potential to change the world; this is exactly what we aim to do through the Evidence & Use approach by understanding the impact of a programme and altering to ensure and sustain children’s overall growth and development.

At Bal Raksha Bharat, we are constantly engaged in channeling thought leadership and generating newer evidence to strengthen the agenda of children and their well-being. We partner with institutions of repute such as National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR-NIN) and others bolster and add value to our research work. Some of the key studies through which we have strengthened evidence for informed policy making and programming are listed below:
