Bharat Vikas Parishad

Bharat Vikas Parishad (BVP) (translation: Indian Development Council) is a member of Sangh Parivar.

The BVP, founded in 1963 on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda is a right-wing voluntary organisation.

It was initially formed with name - Citizens Council to mobilize people against Chinese attacks on Indian territory but was later renamed and registered as a society on 10 July 1963.

Its primary purpose is to organize Indian citizens for philanthropic work.

BVP's regional branches were seen distributing sanitizers and raising awareness about precautions to prevent COVID-19 from spreading.
