Bhandup Educational Society has established a CENTRE OF GANDHIAN STUDIES AND
ACTION in V. K Krishna Menon College in association with the Indian Council of Gandhian
Studies, New Delhi on 30th September 2008. The college will emerge gradually as a Forum for Study, Research and
Outreach activities by involving students, staff and community around in socially relevant
programmes to propagate the Gandhian Vision of Social Transformation and Individual
Empowerment. Our institution aspires to follow Gandhiji’s core philosophy of simplicity and
cleanliness.
On 2nd October every year, Gandhi Jayanti is celebrated. During the Gandhi Jayanti
celebration, speeches touching upon the lessons to be learned from Gandhiji’s life, including
simplicity and adherence to truth, which also form the core philosophy of our college are
delivered. Rendition of Gandhiji’s favourite Hymns during this day, followed by cleaning of
the campus by the staff and the participating students is the highlight of the day. On this day
Late Adv. Shri P. A. Menon Sir- Founder Chairman of Bhandup Educational Society felicitated
each and every staff with books on the life and philosophy of Gandhiji to commemorate the
event. Now the legacy of felicitating each and every staff is continued by Smt. P. Sarada Menon
Madam- Chairman of Bhandup Educational Society. This helps the staff to align with and
understand the philosophy of Gandhiji by thought, words and deeds.
