Short Overview about the school

The Saraswati Shishu Mandir is managed by the ‘Vidya Bharati Sanstha’ of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). It is also called Saraswati Vidya Mandir. Apart from Saraswati Shishu Mandir, other schools are also run under ‘Vidya Bharti Sanstha’.

History of Saraswati Shishu Mandir

The first Geeta school was established in Kurukshetra in the year 1946 under the patronage of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief MS Golwalkar. However, when Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in the year 1948 and the RSS was banned, the spread of the Geeta school model was stopped. After this, after the ban on RSS was lifted, in the year 1952, RSS leaders Krishna Chandra Gandhi, Bhaurao Deoras and Nanaji Deshmukh together laid the foundation stone of the country’s first ‘Saraswati Shishu Mandir’ in Gorakhpur. At that time ‘Saraswati Shishu Mandir’ was started in a building with a monthly rent of five rupees.

Since the establishment of Saraswati Shishu Mandir, it has expanded rapidly. The main reason for this was the growing demand for education in India and dissatisfaction with the state school system. Till the 1990s, there were 5000 Saraswati Shishu Mandir schools across the country, whose number had crossed 14,000 by the year 2003. In the year 2003, about 17 lakh students used to study in Saraswati Shishu Mandir. Currently more than 34.5 lakh students study in these institutions. There is a network of 1.46 lakh teachers to teach them.
