India faces critical challenges as a nation in its march towards a welfare state. Considering the nature of the challenges which are so unique, only rapid strides in the sector of science and technology, in resonance with India's heritage can meet those challenges. In this context Vijnanabharati, a science movement with swadeshi spirit has a greater role to play. Swadeshi Science Movement was started in Indian Institite of Science- (Bengaluru) by a few eminent scientists under the guidance of Prof. K I Vasu. This movement gradually gained momentum and emerged as an organization with national presence. In 1991 (Oct 20-21) at the Nagpur meet, it was decided, to launch the Swadeshi Science Movement at all India Level and named it as Vijnana Bharati. Vijnana Bharati has units in 22 states across the country and contacts in 4 states. It is working in 11 different areas through autonomous institutions, independent organizations & also as project entities.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management (IIITM), Gwalior, is a premier institute of national importance established by the Government of India. It offers cutting-edge education and research in IT and management, blending technological expertise with managerial skills. Known for its innovative programs, interdisciplinary approach, and strong industry interface, IIITM Gwalior nurtures future leaders and entrepreneurs. The institute actively engages in research, start-up incubation, and international collaborations, making it a hub for academic excellence and innovation in Central India. The beginning of IIITM could be traced back to 1992, when MHRD (Presently Ministry of Education, Govt. of India) under Dr. P. G. Reddy contemplated setting up of advanced information systems in the likes of IIMs and IITs in different locations of India. Subsequently in 1995, Government of India based on a report prepared by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) comprising eminent academicians, policy makers, and professionals decided on establishing national centres focussed on IT and management training.

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is the Ministry of Education's flagship programme that links higher-education institutions (HEls) with rural India to solve local development challenges through science, technology and community engagement.
