I am happy to say that Vidya Bharati has been working to fulfill all these three objectives since its inception.” “Today is the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. We all know that the British did not gift us this freedom on a platter. Thousands of revolutionaries offered their last drop of blood,” he added.
