Vidya Bharati
The child is the centre of all our aspirations. He is the protector of our country, Dharma (Religion)
and culture.The development of our culture and civilization is implicit in the development of the
child's personality. A child today holds the key for tomorrow. To relate the child with his land and his
ancestors is the direct, clear and unambiguous mandate for education. We have to achieve the all
round development of the child through education and sanskar i.e. inculcation of time honored
values and traditions
Some committed and patriotic people, who considered education as an artifice to educate the young
generation according to Indian values and culture started the first school in Gorakhpur, UP, in 1952. They
named this school as Saraswati Shishu Mandir-Temple of the Goddess Saraswati dedicated to the
children. Thanks to their zeal, dedication and hard work that similar schools began to be established at
other places also. The number of such schools increased rapidly in Uttar Pradesh. A state-level Shishu
Shiksha Prabandh Samiti was formed in 1958 for their proper guidance and planned development. Good
education & sound sanskars at the Saraswati Shishu Mandirs earned recognition, honor, and popularity in
the society. Shishu Mandirs started spreading in other states and within a few years, many schools were
established. To manage the affairs in different regions, state-level committees were set-up. The formation
of a national body came in 1977 and Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan was established
with its Registered office at Lucknow & functional headquarters in Delhi. All state-level committees were
affiliated to this Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan.
