The journey of Barli Development Institute is one of it's kind. Starting on a large stretch of barren land without any boundary wall to a full fledged Institute with a unique infrastructure it has come a long way. Starting with small batch sizes of trainees and short training periods , it has grown to offer six month residential courses to more than 200 trainees every year and has currently trained more than 8500 trainees from around 800 villages of India.

This journey has crossed several milestones due to the sacrifice , dedication and support of it's founders , Board of Directors , management , staff , trainees , volunteers , interns and well wishers.

To know details of this exciting journey , you may wish to read the souvenir of the Institute published on the occasion of it's Silver Jubilee in 2010 authored by Padamshree Dr. Janak Palta McGilligan , the first Director of the Institute (refer 'downloads' section of the website).
