There is no doubt that strong villages make a strong nation. This conviction led two strong minded people Shri Bhaikaka and Shri Bhikhakaka to visualize an educational township in Charutar so that education could serve as an able instrument of rural change. This dream was blessed by none other than the two great sons of India Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
What is today known as Vallabh Vidyanagar, was a wooded ravine where no one dared to live. Under a desolate mango tree, the two visionaries sketched out a blueprint of their vision.
