Organization Working Days
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday SaturdayManava Bharati was the project of founder Chairman the late Dr. Durga Prasad Panday. An academician and educationist, Dr. Pandey was educated at Banares Hindu University, India and the universities of Cambridge, England and Leiden, the Netherlands. He was associated with the Indian National Freedom Struggle in both; its revolutionary and Gandhian programmes at the cost of suffering imprisonment twice. He was a close compatriot of another revolutionary, Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya who suggested his name as a Hindi/Sanskrit teacher to Guru Rabindra Nath Tagore, who in turn invited him to join the Vishwa Bharati. It was poet Tagore who motivated him to pursue his higher studies and proceed to Europe where he took a Ph.D. from Kings College, Cambridge University, England. 'Babuji' as he was fondly known, decided to dedicate his life to the cause of child education. He followed his inclination to develop the concept of child education, which he had nurtured while in association with Poet Rabindra Nath Tagore at the 'Vishwa Bharati', prior to leaving for England. In 1941, he founded the Manava Bharati institution, a centre for learning on the lines of 'Shantiniketan' and engaged in developing it. Manava Bharati has developed into four centres at Mussoorie, Dehradun, Delhi and Varanasi. Babuji's philanthropy earned him 'The Order of the St. John' in 1966. Manava Bharati flourished at 'Shakti Ashram' in Rajpur (midway between Dehradun and Mussoorie) in Uttaranchal. The institute's foundation stone was laid by Mahatma Gandhi.
