Sampark Gatividhi

is the foundational activity of Bharat Vikas Parishad (BVP), representing purposeful and dignified contact and fellowship. It is the first of the five guiding principles of BVP and forms the base of all organisational work.

Five Guiding Principles of BVP:

Bharat Vikas Parishad functions on the following five sequential principles.
