Bihar Vidyapeeth is an Indian Educational Institution founded by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on 6 February 1921 but it was seized by the British in 1942.[1][2][3] It was started in Patna by Shri Rajendra Prasad and the land was donated by Maulana Mazharul Haque.[4] Its first Institution was opened at Patna-Gaya road presently known as Buddha Marg. It was inaugurated by Mohammad Ali Jauhar and Kasturba Gandhi along with Mahatma Gandhi.[5][6][7] In 2022, it is proposed to make Bihar Vidyapeeth a Central University.[8][9][10]
