On November 7, 1938, Dr. K. M. Munshi founded Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, a charitable public trust promoting education, art, and culture. The Bhavan's Delhi Kendra was launched on 16 May 1957 by India's first president, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. A visionary's small endeavour has grown into 114 centres in India and 7 abroad. The president of India gave Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan the most prestigious Gandhi peace prize in 2002 for its contributions to education and peace and harmony among all faiths and communities. Bharatiya vidya bhavan connects science with spirituality. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world is one family—is Bhavan's goal. Aa No Bhadra Kratvo Yantu Vishwatah—let noble thoughts arise from everywhere—is Bhavan's motto.
