Bharati Vidyapeeth runs primary and secondary schools. It conducts colleges and institutions of liberal and professional education. Among them are Arts, Science and Commerce colleges, as well as colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Ayurved, Homoeopathy, Nursing, Engineering, Architecture, Pharmacy, Management Education, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Law, Social Work etc. In brief, Bharati Vidyapeeth has institutions in almost all the fields of knowledge. Besides, it has six research institutes in which research work is being carried out in such diversified areas as Stem Cell, Animal and Plant Tissue Culture, Applied Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Environment related issues, social sciences and humanities etc. All these colleges are well reputed for the infrastructural facilities and academic excellence they have achieved.
The success story of Bharati Vidyapeeth is unique, having very few parallels. Its moment of glory came when the Government of India in appreciation of the academic excellence of these institutions bestowed the status of Deemed to be University initially on a cluster of 12 institutions of Bharati Vidyapeeth on 26th April, 1996. Later on five more institutions were added to it. Many more to follow in the days to come.
Bharati
Vidyapeeth is an educational institution with a difference.
Social consciousness and social commitment of Dr. Kadam
are reflected in the institutions which he has started
and also in their activities. Among the other institutions
of Bharati Vidyapeeth, which need a special mention,
are a public school situated in the picturesque natural
environment of Panchgani, the queen of hill stations
in Maharashtra and two renowned English medium schools
in Pune and Navi Mumbai.
The social commitment and humanitarian outlook of Dr.
Patangrao Kadam are reflected in a few socially relevant
projects which Bharati Vidyapeeth has launched. They
include schools for tribal children at Jawhar, (Dist.
Thane), and an industrial training centre located at
Kadegaon (Dist. Sangli) for rural girls where they are
given free lodging and, boarding facilities. Realizing
the significant role which education and cooperation
together can play in the upliftment of people, particularly
of deprived sections of population; Dr. Kadam has established
several cooperative units including a bank, a sugar
factory, a spinning mill, cooperative consumer stores
and the like. These cooperative institutions are a part
of the Bharati Vidyapeeth family.
Bharati
Vidyapeeth, the parent body of Bharati Vidyapeeth University, is one of the largest networks of educational
institutions in the country. It was established by Dr.
Patangrao Kadam in 1964 when he was only 19 years old.
Dr. Patangrao Kadam came from a farmer's family in remote
village with no educational background. He was the first
matriculate from his village. Under his visionary and
dynamic leadership, Bharati Vidyapeeth expanded so rapidly
that it has now 140 educational institutions of various
kinds. Its major Campuses are located in New Delhi, Navi
Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur, Sangli, Solapur, Jawhar and few
other places. Our beautiful campuses in New Delhi, Navi
Mumbai and Pune are jewels in the crown of Bharati Vidyapeeth,
hence need a special mention. It is gratifying to note
that more than half a million students are enrolled in
our Institutions. The number of teachers and professionals
working in our Institution exceeds ten thousands.
