Introduction
Founded in 1938 by Dr. K. M Munshi, Bharatiya
Vidya Bhavan is today an all India intellectual,
cultural and educational movement dedicated to
the twin tasks of interpreting the age old yet
ageless message of our country and of integrating
our varied and vibrant culture with the changing
needs of the present day world.
During
over six decades of its existence the Bhavan has
come to be recognized as a symbol of India’s
glorious past and as a comprehensive national
institution with an international outlook touching
all facets of life and enriching all spheres of
activity.

Founded
on November 7, 1938,
on the auspicious Kartik Sud Purnima, Samvat 1995,
nearly a decade before the advent of Independence,
with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi and co-operation
and support of several distinguished stalwarts
of India's freedom movement, the Bharatiya Vidya
Bhavan has grown, from small beginnings, into
a comprehensive all-India intellectual, cultural
and educational movement. It is totally apolitical.
Its founder, Kulapati Dr.
K. M. Munshi, looked upon the Bhavan as
an 'Adventure in Faith', a faith in India's past,
present and future. It is also a faith in India's
people who have a rich and unbroken cultural heritage. |
