As one enters through the main gate of the Balikagram, one experiences a heavenly serenity. The main building houses the visitor's area, the newly built dining hall, kitchen and storage area, the chapel and the living areas for the sisters and the children.

There is an adjacent building that serves as a guest house, where there are 3-4 rooms, a hall and a small chapel area. This is where I had spent the night when I was there.
We have a St.George English medium school in the complex which serves over 800 students, which is one of the best schools in the Dehu road area, providing quality education at a nominal fee. It is here that the inmates of the Balikagram get their education as well.

Besides there is a new building coming up which can serve as additional office space, library for the school.
The Balikagram also has a 2 acre farm land which is used for cultivation of vegetables and other crops that is used in the home. We have a diary farm with a cattleshed which serves as home for 5 cows and the milk helps sustain the needs of the Balikagram. A gobber gas plant (bio gas plant) serves part of the cooking needs of the Balikagram.
