About Balavihar Houses:
Vision
- The goal of introducing Houses in Vrindavan Balavihar is to foster a team spirit in Balavihar students across grades and sessions,
- to encourage students to participate in academic challenges and seva opportunities,
- to reinforce positive actions/behavior through a reward/point system
- and to foster a healthy competition among various Houses.
