A Legacy of Nation-Building
Founded in 1918 by the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, the Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar (DBHP) Sabha stands as a monument to India’s cultural and educational heritage. With Gandhiji himself serving as our first President, the Sabha’s contribution to the nation was formally recognized by the Parliament of India, declaring it an "Institution of National Importance" under Act 14 of 1964.
Expanding the Horizons of Excellence
Building on over a century of service, the DBHP Sabha, Dharwad, has evolved into a powerhouse of diverse education. Managing 13+ premier institutions—ranging from Ayurvedic and Homoeopathic sciences to Polytechnic and Higher Research centers—we have consistently nurtured university toppers and industry leaders.
