Child-centred, joyful, activity-based education from Shishu Vatika to the secondary stage.
About us
Vidya Bharti Devgiri Region is a provincial unit of Vidya Bharti Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan. Across eleven districts of Marathwada and Khandesh, we work to take value-based education, rooted in Bharatiya life-philosophy, to children.
In 1952 the first Saraswati Shishu Mandir opened in a five-rupee rented house in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. The aim was clear: education had to carry culture and sanskar, not a certificate alone.
As schools multiplied, a state-level Shishu Shiksha Prabandh Samiti was formed in 1958. In 1977 the movement was constituted nationally as Vidya Bharti Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan, registered in Lucknow with its working office in Delhi.
In Maharashtra the organisational map has four regions — West Maharashtra, Konkan, Vidarbha and Devgiri. The Devgiri Region holds the educational work of Marathwada and Khandesh together.
The name Devgiri comes from the historic Devgiri (Daulatabad) fort. The fort is the land’s pride; the schools are a means of settling that pride in a student’s character.
