The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan was officially registgered on Monday, November 7, 1938 on the auspicious Kartik Sud Purnima, Samvat 1995 (Vikram Year)., Since then, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has grown, from small beginnings with just a promise of monthly contribution of Rs. 250/- each, for one year from three of Dr. K.M. Munshi's friends and himself, into a comprehensive all-India intellectual, cultural and educational movement. It is totally apolitical. Its founder Kulapati Dr. K. M. Munshi looked upon the Bhavan as an 'Adventure in Faith'--- a faith in India's past, present and future. It is also a faith in India's people who have a rich and unbroken cultural heritage. The Bhavan firmly believes that revitalizing ancient value and reintegrating them to suit the changing needs of modern times alone will give people the strength to assimilate whatever is good in the new,without being swept away from their traditional moorings. The Bhavan believes that there are elements in all cultures which transcend all barriers and knit people together. Its ideal is : Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam : "The World is One Family". Its moto is : Aa no bhadrah kratavo yantu vishwatah : "Let noble thoughts come to us from everyside." We remember the Bhavan's founder, Munshiji with deep reverence.
