About Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan

Founded on November 7, 1938 ( Kartik Sud Purnima, Samvat 1995) by Kulpati Dr. K.M.Munshi with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi when he felt that Independent India would need the binding force of a pan-Indian movement, a pan-Indian spirit and a pan-Indian ethos which would present to contemporary Indians, a glimpse of the composite magnificence of ancient times.

Kulpati Dr. Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi

Born on 30th December, 1887 in the town of Bharuch in Gujarat Kulpati ji Munshi has visualized an Independent India & a body to supplement the politically unity of India with the Cultural and Spiritual Unity of India. His sense of India as the Motherland of the Spirit impressed him irreversibly. And so, as he moved professionally and politically, rung by rung, it was with a sense of pride in the cultural, intellectual and spiritual heritage of India. For him, India was not just a nation but an ongoing civilization; not an accident of history but a design of destiny. For him, the vitality of Indian culture and its self-renewing greatness constituted a flying principle. Munshi showed that a man with pride in the past could also have faith in the future through the instruments of science and technology.

Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan is a movement of culturally rich living & serving with fundamental values of life.
