Centre for Social & Cultural Activities – Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.

“Indian culture is a living force. It absorbs alien elements when necessary and reorients them into a new pattern of homogeneous richness. Thus it becomes a tremendous force of power and beauty which has made us what we are in the world and will make us what we want to be in the world of tomorrow.”

These are the words of wisdom of Dr. K.M. Munshi, the Founder of this Institution known as Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, a unique institution for education and culture.

Taking the philosophy of our founder forward the Jaipur Kendra embarked on a new project to add another dimension to its already existing multifarious activities.
