Selected Opinions about the Bhavan's Activities
"I am very happy indeed that the Bhavan has not been nourished on the milk of some strange breed of cow, she-buffalo, goat or foreign mother. The Bhavan has been nourished on the milk of Mother India ................
I have very high hopes of this Institution as an instrument for the spread of the message of India Culture. My good wishes."
- Giani Zail Singh, Former President of India and Bhavan's Hon. Member
"The word' Dharma' has no equivalent in English.
It is an entirely Indian concept comprising innumerable virtues like charity, justice, fairness, honesty, one's duty, righteous conduct, straightforward behaviour and others. The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, has been during the last sixty years, propagating 'Dharma' among people irrespective of Region, Caste and Creed. It has spread the message throughout our country through its Kendras and Schools and has carried the message to materially advanced countries like Europe and North America.
Its extensive publications of ancient scriptures combining with it modern computer education free for the weaker sections of the society makes the Institution unique and unparalleled.
"One can hardly find words of adequate expression in the whole library of English literature to acknowledge the invaluable contribution to humanity that Kulapati K.M. Munshi has made by founding such a unique institution."
- R. Venkataraman, Former President of India
"Dr. K.M. Munshi was a great scholar, a practical idealist and a visionary and if the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has sustained itself for 60 years and has grown from strength to strength during this period, it is because of the wisdom and imagination behind this institution. Of course, he had great successors who have sustained this institution with equal wisdom and imagination. The Bhavan has made a crucial contribution to the advancement, in the younger generation, of education and to the cultivation, in the younger generation, of ethical and spiritual values of our civilisation."
- K.R. Narayanan, President of India
"The Bhavan has served Indian Culture with ability and perseverance and has made truly remarkable progress in many aspects of Indian Culture.
The Bhavan's past record gives assurance that this progress will continue in the future also and the Bhavan will create fresh records in the service of India's culture. A very fine institution which deserves every encouragement and support."
- Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, Former Prime Minister of India and Bhavan's Founder Member
