History
ABVP was started soon after independence with the objective of channelizing student's energies in the task of national reconstruction by a group of students and teachers who drew their inspiration from the RSS, the premier hindu nationalist organization of the country. Its growth process was slow and sporadic in the first few years but it picked up after Prof. Yeshwantrao Kelkar, a lecturer in Bombay, became its main organizer in 1958. As a consequence of singe-minded devotion of Prof. Kelkar, who passionately tried to build up this organization till his death in 1987, the ABVP is what it is today. Today ABVP is the largest student organization in India. During the International Youth Year 1985, ABVP took the initiative of launching the World Organization of Students and Youth (WOSY), the first international student and youth body with India as headquarters. ABVP is known to have massive programmes to bring awareness about rights and responsibilities among the poor and less fortunate in remote areas of India.
