On January 12, 1963, coinciding with the birth centenary of Swami Vivekanand, the Citizens Council, which was originally established to mobilise citizen efforts during the Chinese attack, underwent a transformation. Led by prominent industrialists and social reformers such as the late Lala Hans Raj and Dr. Suraj Prakash, the council was renamed Bharat Vikas Parishad. The organisation draws inspiration and guidance from the ideals and teachings of Swami Vivekanand.
Recognising the importance of formal registration, Bharat Vikas Parishad was officially registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act 1860 on July 10, 1963.
