What is Baadal?

Baadal is an organisation started by a team of psychologists to bring Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) to students across India.

We operate on the ethos that students should be active participants in their own learning. To achieve this, we aim to collaborate with schools to build culturally sensitive programs and resources that are co-created with students. Our goal is to bring forth the innate curiosity of every child, providing them with the tools to navigate questions they have about themselves, their relationships, and the world.
