First Saraswati Shishu Mandir. In 1952, some inspired RSS workers to take up education of children as a mission of their life. The people engaged in this noble task of nation building through proper education of younger generation, laid the foundation of the first school at Gorakhpur in a building rented at a monthly rent of five rupees. After due consideration, they named their school as Saraswati Shishu Mandir-Temple of the Goddess Saraswati dedicated to the children. Thanks to their zeal, dedication and hard work that such schools began to be established at other places also. Prior to this Gita school was established at Kurukshetra in 1946 by revered Sri Guruji, M.S.Golwalkar.
State level committees were set-up in other states also as the number of schools began to increase there. Punjab and Chandigarh had a Sarvhitkari Shiksha Samiti while Haryana had Hindu Shiksha Samiti. The formation of All India body came in 1977 as a natural corollary of this process. Thus, Vidya Bharati was established with its headquarters in Delhi. All state level committees were affiliated to this Vidya Bharati Akhil Bhartiya Shiksha Sansthan educational system.
