Shaping Futures Through Compassion
Shri Bhagaban Dev was born in the quiet village of Nuapali, Kansingha, in the Bargarh district of Odisha. From his earliest years, his heart was moved by the silent struggles of poor and underprivileged children. Watching their longing for education awaken hopes never fulfilled, a lifelong dream took root within him—to ensure that no child is denied the light of learning because of poverty.
Guided by this noble vision, he, along with the revered spiritual master Swami Muniswaranand Saraswati, jointly founded the Navaprabhat Public Charitable Trust in the year 2000. Their union of spiritual wisdom and social purpose laid a strong and sacred foundation for a mission dedicated to education, values, and selfless service.
In 2011, under his compassionate leadership, the Trust took a powerful step forward by giving special focus to the education of girl students—lighting the path of confidence, dignity, and independence for the daughters of society.
Life's Purpose: Service to Humanity
His life’s purpose is simple yet profound: to serve humanity through education. Firm in his belief that service to mankind is service to God, Shri Bhagaban Dev continues to guide the Trust with humility in his heart, faith in his actions, and an unwavering commitment to transforming lives through the power of learning.
