Bharatiya Manyaprad receives financial assistance from ICHR, New Delhi. This is a recognized peer-reviewed journal enlisted in the UGC CARE List, with established academic credibility in the field of research and scholarship.
Prolonging the tradition of Bharatiyata, Bharatiya Manyaprad is an effort to initiate an incessant renaissance in the heritage of knowledge, wisdom and culture of the great Indian master spirits. The incipient perception must be carried forward with the belief that 'Bharat' is not just a nation but an ongoing civilization, not an accident of history but a design of destiny. Started by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Ahmedabad Kendra, the journal invites Bharatiya wisdom across the borders.
