Established on 3rd January 1986, Bharat Soka Gakkai (BSG) has its Headquarters in New Delhi. It is the Indian affiliate of the global Soka Gakkai, an association of grassroots organizations with 12 million members spread across 192 countries and territories. BSG is dedicated to the goal of promoting the values of happiness and respect for all through various activities under the umbrella of peace, culture, education, and sustainability. BSG is dedicated to the cause of creating a ‘New Age in India’ and a ‘New Global Civilization’ by ‘empowering individuals’ across the country.
Members of BSG work on their ‘human revolution’, or inner transformation in all areas of their life, thereby creating a culture of cherishing and respecting the dignity of all life.
The level of culture that teachers themselves have attained in the depths of their lives through their own personal efforts is conveyed from one human being to another, from teacher to pupil. Education is not something that is conferred in a high-handed manner from without. Consequently, teachers' inner growth contributes to the pupils' happiness and both educational and social advances.
