Established
in 1963, Bharat Vikas Parishad is a service-cum-sanskar
oriented, non-political, socio-cultural voluntary organisation.
It is dedicated to the development and growth of our country
in all fields of human endeavour - cultural, social, academic,
moral, national and spiritual - by promoting a sense of
patriotism, national unity and integrity.
Its main aim is to organise the elite, intellectuals and
the well-to-do citizens and to motivate them to serve
our poor, disabled, illiterate and ignorant brethren not
as an act of charity but in the true spirit of our cultural
tradition of service as duty.
On the birth centenary of Swami Vivekanand i.e. on 12th
January, 1963, the Citizens Council set up by leading
industrialists and social reformers like late Lala Hans
Raj and Dr. Suraj Prakash, initially to mobilise citizens
efforts to fight the Chinese attack, was renamed as Bharat
Vikas Parishad (BVP). BVP was registered as a Society
under the Societies Registration Act 1860 on the 10th
July, 1963. Bharat Vikas Parishad is thus motivated and
guided by the ideals and teachings of Swami Vivekanand.
