Today we are in a country in which two nations exist, a Shining India and a Suffering India.  The disparities within the society have increased, the rich are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer.  It is a divided society.  There are basically three divides and they are growing: The Economic Divide, the Social Divide and the Knowledge Divide.  Each divide reinforces the other two divides.  A divided society cannot flourish. 

    BGVS has attempted to bridge the three divides: Knowledge Divide, Economic Divide and Social Divide in the society through its programs.  BGVS started with attempts to bridge the knowledge Divide but became increasingly involved in closing Economy Divide and Social Divide too.

     Spreading scientific knowledge and scientific world vision amongst the people, working for literacy, continuing education, basic education, policy studies etc. are to close the Knowledge Divide.  Efforts in watershed management, technology development, local area planning, formation of Self Help Groups, development of micro enterprises etc. are efforts to close Economic Divide.  Children's Science Festivals, Women Science (Samata) Festivals, Gyan Vigran Vidyalaya (Wisdom Schools) Movement etc. all are efforts to bridge the Social Divide.
