Bharat Vikas Parishad - Unique Social Organization In India

Primary purpose of this programme is to STRENGTHEN in the minds of children the idea of respecting their parents & teachers, whose blessings will enable them to be successful in life.

Under this programme, the representatives of Bharat Vikas Parishad visit selected Schools, Colleges or any other Institutions (SCIs) in and around their areas to express thanks and gratitude to the teachers and congratulate the meritorious students. The most important aspect of the program that makes it a Special one is that the students are encouraged to take the Blessings of teachers & parents by touching their Feet.

This is extremely important to redevelop the fast deteriorating Teacher - Student relationship and inculcate humbleness in the mind of children.
