History
Padma Vibhushan Lala Hansraj Gupta established the first Bal Bharati in 1944 near the Central Ridge in New Delhi. The school spreads over six acres and is now housed in two wings - Pusa Road and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Marg. Other Bal Bharati Schools have since been set up across India.
Philosophy and logo
"Let noble thoughts come to us from all sides" is derived from "Aa No Bhadra Kratvi Yantu Vishwatah". The school motto "Hanso Nayatu Naha Pragyam" is depicted in the image of a child astride a soaring swan and symbolises how the school embraces knowledge from all sources. The motto means, "Ey swan, give us education", and make us move constantly to newer heights of learning and excellence, generally because the swan is a symbol of enlightenment in Hindu beliefs.
