The mission of Vidya Bharti is not merely limited to running schools, but is a broader social awakening initiative aimed at nurturing cultured, character-driven, and nationalistic citizens,” asserted Shailesh Joshi, Organising Secretary of Vidya Bharti for the Vidarbha and Devagiri prant, while speaking at the introductory training meet, recently. Speaking further, he emphasised that education rooted in Indian values fosters social harmony, national integration, and character-building.
