Tara Bhavan

Tara, literally means STAR, and Bhavan means HOME. Tara Bhavan, set up by Ms.Poonam Kukreja,  is a Home for underprivileged children. It has been in existence for over 11 years since its inception on the 14th of February 1999. Their ages range from 2 to 17 yrs.

Tara Bhavan has various experiences in the field of handling children that are of troubled and poor backgrounds. Children that are orphaned, abandoned and from hardcore poor broken homes are given a new lease of life whilst under their care.
