IAS officer Ramesh Gholap has rescued at least 35 kids working in garages/hotels, sent them to schools, and provided them with a monthly income through government schemes.
A toddler found tied to a post in a goat shed, a widow so traumatized she became mute, a teenager who was trafficked by her mother and stepfather – these are but a few who have escaped their dark pasts to find a home in Bal Sadan.
