75th Anniversary of Bhartiya Vidya BhavanBhartiya Vidya Bhavan was founded in 1938 by Dr K. M. Munshi with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi. Its motto was, "Let noble thoughts come to us from every side." The aim and objective of BVB was to inculcate a value-based life and promote ethical and spiritual values. For this purpose BVB runs more than hundred educational institutions in India as well as abroad.[Highlight1]Although BVB was established in India, its message is universal. It addresses all mankind, regardless of religion and culture. BVB was established 75 years ago, but its message is as important today as it was earlier. I have attended some functions of BVB. I found that their organizers and members are very spirited people, they are sincerely engaged in building a new generation.May God bless them, may God help them realize their noble cause.(Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is an Islamic Spiritual Scholar and Founder of Centre for Peace and Spirituality International, New Delhi)
