BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) is an innovative concept towards qualitative improvement in education, through developing child-friendly, learning and fun based physical environment building in school infrastructure.
There are two levels of this intervention:
- Develop the SPACES to create varied teaching-learning situations
- Develop the BUILT ELEMENTS in these spaces as teaching-learning aids
The Spaces can be
- Classroom
- Corridor
- Steps and staircase

BaLA is about innovatively treating the space and the built elements to make the existing school architecture more resourceful with higher educational value in a child friendly manner.
