Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is a Cultural Movement which has contributed immensely to the preservation and propagation of our nation's rich and beautiful culture which springs from the thousands of years old great spiritual heritage of our Punyabhoomi. When I was young, during my travels I would search for the great Bhavan's publications at the railway bookstalls. But it is in the field of performing arts like Music, Dance and Drama that I admire Bhavan's contribution the most. In over 100 towns in India and in several countries Bhavan's cultural centres have been serving this rich heritage of our culture with dedication and wonderful imagination.
