- About Us
Building
Ashirwad Sevadham Charitable Trust was established with a simple yet powerful vision: to ensure that no child is deprived of love, care, or the opportunity to build a better future. What began as a humble initiative has grown into a trusted home where children are nurtured with compassion, dignity, and purpose.
At Balsadan, we believe that every child deserves more than shelter,they deserve a family, an education, and the confidence to dream without limits. Through holistic care, quality education, healthcare, and life-enriching experiences, we empower young lives to overcome challenges and embrace a future filled with hope and possibility.
For over 40 years, our journey has been guided by kindness, strengthened by community support, and inspired by the resilience of the children we serve. Every smile, every achievement, and every success story reflects our unwavering commitment to transforming lives and creating lasting change.

Dr. Ratnakar Pawar
Founder & Chairman
Mahant Dr. Ratnakar Pawar is a dedicated medical professional and social worker committed to serving underprivileged and marginalized communities. After completing his medical education, he combined his medical practice with extensive social service initiatives. In 1984, along with Dr. (Mrs.) Sulbha Pawar, he founded the Ashirwad Sevadham Trust to support tribal, economically weaker, women, and children. The Trust provided affordable healthcare, free medical camps, ambulance services, and medical assistance in remote rural areas. It also established a public library to promote education and reading among underserved communities. Through courses such as DMLT, Nursing, and other medical programs, numerous students, particularly from tribal communities, received educational opportunities and became self-reliant. In 1990, the Trust established Smt. Garda Orphanage/Bal Sadan to provide orphaned and destitute children with shelter, food, education, healthcare, and values. A separate residential facility was later established for girls, providing them with a safe and supportive environment for their growth and development. For his outstanding contribution to society, Dr. Ratnakar Pawar has been honored by several organizations for his remarkable work in healthcare, education, child welfare, and social service.
