Amit Shah Lauds Bharat Vikas Parishad for Pioneering Social Change

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has praised the Bharat Vikas Parishad (BVP) for its exceptional contributions to India's socio-economic development. Speaking at the BVP's 63rd Foundation Day celebration, Shah highlighted the organization's efforts in transforming the lives of millions and emphasized its importance in nation-building.

Shah, acknowledging BVP's foundational values derived from the teachings of Swami Vivekananda, noted that the organization acts as a crucial link between those willing to serve and those in need. He expressed confidence that BVP will continue playing an instrumental role in furthering India's development with dedication and enthusiasm.

The BVP, originally founded as the 'Citizens Council' in 1963, works across two main areas: 'sewa' (service) and 'sanskar' (education). Its projects include providing artificial limbs to differently-abled individuals, village development, environmental conservation, and educational initiatives like quizzes and cultural competitions. Former Supreme Court judge, Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, now serves as the national president.
