It was on Oct. 6, 1935 that Smt. Ratan Shastri and Pt. Hiralal Shastri founded
Banasthali Vidyapith to fill up the vaccum caused by the sudden
death of
their highly talented and promising daughter Shantabai
.
Our sweet lovely flower
withered before its
hour.
Joy descended sorrow flew.
From the ashes garden grew.
ShantaBai
is not a name to be cherished.
It is a conceptual symbol of
an
educational and social philosophy
dynamic in approach,
rich in content
,
full of realism,
freshness and vitality
