ABVP foundation day observed across the Nation

Thiruvananthapuram :  Students across the Nation celebrated 59th foundation day of Akhila Bharathiya Vidyarthi Parishad as “National Students Day” with various programmes and activities in Universities,Colleges and Schools on Wednesday

The ABVP was started soon after independence with the objective of channelising students’ energies in the task of national reconstruction by a group of students and teachers who drew their inspiration from the RSS, the premier nationalist organisation of the country. Its growth process was slow and sporadic in the first few years but it picked up after Prof. Yeshwantrao Kelkar, a lecturer in Bombay, became its main organiser in 1958.
