Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan

INTRODUCTION

 INTRODUCTION

Kulapati Kanhaiyalal Maneklal Munshi founded the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan a full decade before the advent of Independence, on November 7, 1938, as an ‘Adventure in Faith’. A faith in India’s Past, Present and Future. The founding father was known for being the most popular Gujarati writer, statesman, politician, freedom fighter and an educationalist.

The founding of Bhavan’s was based on the idea of preservation and propagation of Bharatiya Sanskriti (Indian culture) and Sanskrit, the mother of languages, the akshaya patra – the inexhaustible reservoir. Over the years from being a modest Indological research institution, it has steadily grown into a comprehensive, co-operative, apolitical, national movement with an international outlook. It seeks to inculcate a value-based life. The promotion of ethical and spiritual values in everything that it does.
