Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Kochi Kendra has organized a function to release the latest publication of Bhavan 'Rich Tradition Richer Heritage' authored by Shri Surendralal G. Mehtaji, President, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, on 29th February, 2016 at Bhavan's Sardar Patel Sabha Griha, Ernakulam.
Bhavan's founder Kulapati Munshiji contributed a regular fortnightly column under the title Kulapati's Letter in the Bhavan's Journal. He touched on all aspects of life, literature and culture. His successors, as Presidents of
the Bhavan, including Shri Surendralalji Mehta have continued the practice. Selected pieces from his writings have now been brought together in Rich Tradition Richer Heritage. Shri Surendralalji correlates current events to our cultural heritage. As such, the book has a permanent educative value.
