Bharat Vikas
Parishad is motivated and guided by the ideals
and teachings of Swami Vivekananda. It was on the birth centenary of Swami Vivekananda

citizens of the country led by Dr.Suraj Prakash
decided to form Bharat Vikas Parishad. Parishad
formally was established on the 10th July, 1963 on
being registered as a Society.
