Bhavan was founded in Mumbai in 1938 by Dr. K. M. Munshi, a multifaceted
personality. Bhavan is a comprehensive national organisation with an international
outlook touching almost all segments of life. It is primarily and essentially
an educational & culturial organisation which has grown from small
begnings into an all-India intellectual, cultural & education movement.
It has started more than 50 Centres in India and a few
International Centres too with avowed object of building up a commonwealth
of faith, hope & human values. Hence Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
once referred to it as " a very fine Institution
which deserves every encouragement & support."
