Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Senior Secondary School, Trivandrum 3.46

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan was founded on 7th November 1938, nearly a decade before India attained Independence, with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi and co-operation and support of several stalwarts of India’s freedom movement. Translated into English, the name means “The abode of Indian studies”.

The Bhavan has grown from small beginnings into an apolitical, intellectual, cultural and educational movement across India and globally. There are more than 119 Centres in India and seven overseas branches.

The Thiruvananthapuram Kendra of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, came into being in 1986, under the leadership of the Late Sooranad P N Kunjan Pillai. The Kendra emulates the Central Bhavan in all aspects, in keeping with the overall philosophy. The emphasis is on enlightening and empowering the individual. Education, thus, has taken the centre stage of the Kendra’s activities.
