Abstract	Netaji Subhsh Chadra Bose was incredibly a great leader of India. At that time, when the whole world was on the verge of Second World War, he risked his life for the shake of motherland. ‘Enemy of the enemy is a friend’ was his war tactic and Azad Hind Fauj was his weapon to fight against British Imperialism. As a result, alliance between Japan and Indian independence movement came into existence. The women regiment under this Fauj was probably the world’s first women army. Bal Sena was another milestone set by him to achieve his goal. This paper aims to explore the Bal Sena, a youth organization formed under the Indian National Army (INA) led by Subhas Chandra Bose during World War II. The Bal Sena's formation, training, and contributions are analysed to understand its role in the Indian independence movement. Additionally, the broader impact of the INA on post-independence policies related to child welfare and empowerment is discussed.
