BHARATI VIDYAPEETH
BHARATI VIDYAPEETH Established in 1964 by Dr. Patangrao Kadam, Bharati Vidyapeeth began its journey from a small room in the congested lanes in the old part of Pune. On April 26, 1996 Bharati Vidyapeeth became a ‘Deemed to be University’ upon the granting of the status to twelve of its institutions by the Government of India. The emblem of the university has a map of India placed within a pink circle surrounded by four concentric circles, indicating the spread of the university in different places of India. It is ensconced in a yellow border which carries its name. It is crested by a flying eagle and below the circle on a blue banner ‘Deemed University’ is written. At the bottom, on a pedestal ‘Pune’ is written. The flying eagle symbolises keen and sharp eyes, powerful wings, might, regality and ferocity. Eagles have major mentions in Hindu epics and have spiritual roles.
