Vidya Bhawan Basic School, established in 1941, holds the distinction of being the first Gandhian School in Rajasthan. Nestled on the serene outskirts of Udaipur, the school was founded with a vision deeply inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of education—emphasizing the harmony of Heart, Head, and Hands.

From its inception, Vidya Bhawan adopted a unique and progressive approach to learning, integrating practical skills with academic knowledge to foster holistic development. Activities like spinning, sewing, food processing, and electrical work were not just add-ons but essential parts of the curriculum, encouraging students to connect learning with real-life experiences.

For seven decades, this Gandhian model flourished, creating generations of responsible, skilled, and community-minded citizens. Although the school transitioned to a more conventional educational framework post-2011 to align with changing trends, its core values and commitment to inclusive, value-based education remain unchanged.

Our Mission

• To promote sound education that nurtures the full and harmonious development of the individual—intellectually, emotionally, and socially—while instilling a strong sense of citizenship and social responsibility.

• To foster vocational and professional skills aligned with the evolving needs of society, empowering students for meaningful employment and self-reliance.

• To build a collaborative ecosystem where parents, educators, and the broader community work together to shape each child’s future through active engagement and open communication.

• To ensure the mental, physical, and social well-being of students, staff, and the wider community through ongoing awareness, support, and counseling initiatives.

At Vidya Bhawan Basic School, education is more than academics—it’s a journey of character-building, skill development, and becoming a conscientious member of society.
