# Vision, Mission, Objectives
#
Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University is an organization with a difference. It has its own well defined ideological orientation and commitments. Social transformation in a desired direction is one of its cherished goals and it believes that education can be an effective prime mover for such social transformation.

Dr. Patangrao Kadam has very aptly coined "Social Transformation through Dynamic Education" as the official motto of Bharati Vidyapeeth. Education can be an effective instrument of social change, if it is dynamic. This conceptualization of dynamic education at Bharati Vidyapeeth is reflected in the innovative academic programmes, multi-location campus presence, enrollment of a large number of students from economically & socially backward areas, special schools and colleges for Girl’s and Tribal people.

Bharati Vidyapeeth as an educational organization has committed itself:

* To make available quality education in different areas of knowledge to the students as per their choice and inclination
* To offer education to the students in a conducive ambience created by enriched infrastructure and academic facilities in its campuses
* To bring education within the reach of rural, tribal and girl students by providing them substantive fee concessions and subsidized hostel and mess facilities
* To make available quality education to the students of rural, tribal and other deprived sections of the population.

The functioning of all the constituent units of Bharati Vidyapeeth and BVU is designed and geared up towards the fulfillment of these commitments.
