Founded in 1938 by Dr. K. M Munshi, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is an 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 the eight 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.
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan conducts classes from Kindergarten to post-graduate research
and imparts education in subjects ranging from Carnatic Music to Computers, from
Sanskrit to Business Management and from Yoga to Journalism. This is being accomplished
through its centres spread all over the country and abroad, through its constituent
institutions which today number over 120, through its various publications, through
cultural and educational programmes it conducts from time to time and above all
through personal discussion and dialogue.
