about Vijnana Bharati
Vijnana Bharati: A Swadeshi Science Movement
India faces unique and complex challenges on its path toward becoming a welfare state. Addressing these effectively requires rapid progress in science and technology, deeply aligned with India’s rich cultural heritage. In this context, Vijnana Bharati (VIBHA), a science movement rooted in the spirit of swadeshi, has a vital role to play.
The Swadeshi Science Movement was initiated at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, by a group of eminent scientists under the guidance of Prof. K. I. Vasu. The movement steadily gained strength and evolved into a national organization. It was formally launched across India on October 20–21, 1991, at a meeting in Nagpur, where it was named Vijnana Bharati.
Today, VIBHA has active units in 22 states and presence in 4 more. It operates across 11 key domains through autonomous institutions, independent organizations, and project-based initiatives.
As a vibrant force for promoting Swadeshi sciences, VIBHA bridges traditional and modern scientific knowledge, as well as natural and spiritual sciences. It represents a dynamic movement that adapts modern science to meet India's unique national needs.
Mission and Vision of Vijnana Bharati
Vijnana Bharati is committed to promoting Bharatiya heritage by fostering a harmonious integration of physical and spiritual sciences, where both realms nourish and enrich each other. It seeks to rejuvenate the Swadeshi spirit in the modern era of science and technology, channeling it toward the holistic reconstruction of the nation.
A key objective is to develop a unified script and standardized scientific terminology across all Bharatiya languages, enabling wider accessibility and deeper rootedness of scientific knowledge. The movement actively promotes science education imbued with Swadeshi values, using local languages and mass media to reach all sections of society.
Vijnana Bharati also strives to raise awareness about Bharat’s profound contributions to the evolution of modern science, ensuring that this legacy is recognized and respected. Toward this end, it engages with educational authorities to incorporate India’s scientific heritage into school curricula and academic textbooks at all levels, fostering pride and continuity in national knowledge systems.
