Bihar Vidyapith Act

The Bihar Vidyapith Act, enacted in 1920, established the Bihar Vidyapith, an educational institution in Bihar, India, aimed at promoting nationalist education during the freedom struggle. It sought to provide a curriculum that aligned with Indian culture and values, moving away from British colonial education systems. The act facilitated the establishment of schools and colleges that emphasized self-reliance and independence, fostering a sense of national identity. It was part of a broader movement to empower Indians through education and promote social and political awareness.
