CHARUTAR VIDYA MANDAL (CVM): THE PATH TRAVERSED
Sardar Patel inspired Shri Bhaikaka, who served as Superintendent Engineer in
Sindh and Ahmedabad Municipality Corporation (AMC) to go to the villages and
work for their regeneration. He thought to improve the human life of villagers
through higher learning by establishing institutions of higher education. He got
in touch with Shri Bhikhabhai Saheb and started the developmental activities. On
28th March 1945, it was decided to layout and implement the plan of establishing
an "Educational Township" which is now known as "Vallabh Vidyanagar".
The founders decided to establish two institutions viz. Charutar Vidya Mandal
(CVM) and Charotar Gramoddhar Sahakari Mandal (CGSM). The former was to be
devoted to the cause of education, establishing schools and colleges, while the
latter meant to produce the building materials for educational institutions and
residential quarters. These were registered on August 10, 1945 and September 7,
1945 respectively. Thus, the Charutar Vidya Mandal (CVM) was established with a
mission of making a modern and prosperous independent India by regeneration of
villages through the establishment of institutions providing a modern education.
