In the world, every country makes effort to transmit its culture, traditions, value of life, knowledge and science and experiences of its great personalities to the future generations as a national heritage through education. The lofty spiritual culture of India, the noble traditions, the values of life, the ideal life character of great luminaries and the knowledge-science of this country are not only considered the property of this country, but also of the whole world. But for the present Indian education system it remained a hard task to transmit the unique national heritage to the future generation. Rather it is finding itself incapable of making the younger generation aware of it. As a result, in the absence of national self-esteem, a value vacuum has been created and the trend of blind imitation of foreign culture is increasing in students.
It is our firm belief that if our students are made aware of modern knowledge and science along with their great culture, glorious history, life-style of great men, lofty national traditions, then the ray of hope will arise in the dismal atmosphere of today and we will see desirable changes in the student world. In view of this objective, the activities of "All India Cultural Quiz Competition Programmes conducted by Vidya Bharati Sanskriti Shiksha Sansthan are given hereunder.
