It was launched in Sepahijala district in August 2021. Before launching the Diya Bati project, administration conducted a ‘vulnerability survey’. The Vulnerability was identified based on several parameters like if the child is orphaned, abandoned by parents or under care of a single parent.
The project aims at helping little dreams of vulnerable children to blossom by providing them new opportunities for growth and development. The program is designed to support the vulnerable child in both socio-economic and psychological ways.
