Founded 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 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 nine 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 Kindergarden 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 publication through cultural and educational programmes it conducts from time to time and above all through personal discussion and dialogue.
