BHARATIYA VIDYA BHAVAN

BHARATIYA VIDYA BHAVAN

Bharatiya  Vidya   Bhavan   was  established  by  late Dr. K.M. Munshi in 1938 at Bombay with the main objective of reviving, propagating and popularising Indian culture, civilization and philosophy amongst  our people.  It is cosmopolitan in its nature and outlook, respects all religions, does not recognise barriers of caste, colour and religion and is open to all who cherish and believe in its principles and ideals.  The educational institutions of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan proudly stand out as monumental examples of enchanting idealism inscribed in grace, glory and as veritable models of scholastic perception and perfection. They are unrivalled in their brilliance and performance. Unequalled in their pre-eminence and prestige, the system of imparting education in these institutions gives prominence for shaping and moulding the character of the child,  at the same time emphasizing the importance of social, moral, ethical and spiritual values to enable the person to lead a  more meaningful life.
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan conducts classes from Kindergarten to Post graduation and research and imparts education in subjects ranging from Sanskrit, yoga, carnatic music, classical dance, science, commerce, business management, journalism, physical education,  etc.
