== History ==
The BVP, founded in 1963 on the birth anniversary of [[Swami Vivekananda]] is a right-wing voluntary organisation. It was initially formed with name - Citizens Council to mobilize people against Chinese attacks on Indian territory but was later renamed and registered as a society on 10 July 1963. Its primary purpose is to organize Indian citizens for philanthropic work.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Working for a Mission – Bharat Vikas Parishad|url=https://bvpindia.com/about-us-2/about-us/|access-date=1 May 2020}}</ref> BVP is a member of [[Sangh Parivar]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Verma|first=Lalmani|date=1 September 2015|title=New BJP members take 'RSS lesson'|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/new-bjp-members-take-rss-lesson/|url-status=live|access-date=27 September 2021|website=The Indian Express|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150902235211/http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/new-bjp-members-take-rss-lesson/|archive-date=2 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Singh|first=Darpan|date=15 April 2014|title=30,000 saffron soldiers take up Narendra Modi's fight|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/30-000-saffron-soldiers-take-up-narendra-modi-s-fight/story-OGhAuJbZ6ziRh4qFCawTHP.html|url-status=live|access-date=27 September 2021|website=Hindustan Times|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927084129/https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/30-000-saffron-soldiers-take-up-narendra-modi-s-fight/story-OGhAuJbZ6ziRh4qFCawTHP.html |archive-date=27 September 2021 }}</ref>
