Theme: “Service to Society through Sanskar, Unity, and National Commitment.”

Bharat Vikas Parishad celebrates its Foundation Day on 10 July, marking its registration as a society on 10 July 1963. The organization, dedicated to the service and development of Bharat, conducts ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ (service fortnight) from June 27 — the birthday of the founder Dr. Suraj Parkash — concluding on the Foundation Day.

Various programmes are organised across branches and regions to reflect the organisation’s spirit of Seva (Service), Sanskar (Values), and Samarpan (Dedication). The activities usually combine patriotic, cultural, social, and service-oriented themes.

Foundation Day is not only a celebration of the birth of Bharat Vikas Parishad but a renewal of our commitment towards building a strong, cultured, and compassionate India.
