The Shanti Bhavan Children's Project is a U.S. 501(c)(3) and India 80-G non-profit organisation based in Bangalore Karnataka, India, that operates a tuition-free, pre-K-12 residential school in Baliganapalli, Tamil Nadu for Dalit children. Shanti Bhavan is accredited by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), and administers the ICSE and ISC exams during students' 10th and 12th grades.[1] Due to caste-based discrimination, the students come from impoverished backgrounds.[2] As of 2017, enrollment was about 300 students.[3]
