The origin of Banasthali is unique in more ways than one. Banasthali Vidyapith owes its existence neither to the zeal of an educationist, nor to that of a social reformer. It is also not the creation of a philanthropist"s purse. It has arisen like the fabled phoenix from the ashes of a blossoming flower Shanta Bai that had withered before its bloom. It is a spontaneous filling up of the vacuum ...caused by Shantabai"s death. Here, love, eternal love has been the fountain head of all the thinking and action and this spirit has been the motivating force.
It was on October 6, 1935, Smt. Ratan Shastri and Pandit Hiralal Shastri (former secretary in the home and foreign department) found Banasthali to fill up the vacuum caused by the sudden death of their highly talented and promising daughter Shantabai. They had high expectations that she would work for women"s cause when on growing up.
The vision and mission of Banasthali is to provide the girls not simply with general education but to enable them to compete on equal terms in a society.
Banasthali"s work in the field of women"s education has been of a special type. It can neither be classified as routine type of work nor a social type of work but a unique blending of the two.
Banasthali is deeply conscious of the crisis of values that marks the modern society. In its view, education is one of the potent instrument for trying to meet this crisis. Hence Banasthali"s entire educational effort and program is focused on the need of creating a proper sense of values among the students. In this context it emphasizes a harmonious balance of the spiritual and scientific values of the East and the West. Simple and natural living and an attempt to strike a balance between individual freedom and social responsibility designed to achieve the above objectives.
Banasthali Vidyapith has been conceptualized to materialize the ethos of nation-building and Indian Culture. Banasthali"s whole architecture stands upon the twin foundation pillars of Nationalism and Indian Culture. Since its inception, Banasthali Vidyapith has had a clear perspective about its educational efforts and has possessed a vivid picture of the form and pattern of educational programme to be adopted.
The architects of the Vidyapith believed that an educational programme should be able to promote the development of a balanced and harmonious personality of the students. Hence, the educational programme of the Vidyapith was distinct from the form of education prevalent at that time which emphasized book learning to utter neglect of all other aspects of education. Banasthali Vidyapith’s aim of a full and balanced development of students" personality got concrete expression in the form of "Panchmukhi Shiksha" which evolved out of initial experimentation.
Panchmukhi Shiksha attempts a balance of the five aspects of education, namely Physical, Practical, Aesthetic, Moral and Intellectual and aims at all round harmonious development of personality.
Synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the East and the West is a key feature of the Vidyapith’s educational programme. Simple living, self-reliance and khadi wearing are hallmarks of life at Banasthali.
