We want that Education by which character is formed; Strength of mind is increased,
& by which one can stand on one's own feet.

The Hindu Vidyalaya of Calgary was established in 1993 as an educational arm of the Hindu Society of Calgary and operates under a standing committee of the Society called Hindu Vidyalaya Education Committee (HVEC). This committee consists of eight members, i.e., chairman, principal, vice-principal, a member of trustees, a representative from executive, a parent representative, a teacher representative, and a youth member of the Hindu Vidyalaya.

The Vidyalaya offers formal classes on Hindu religion, Hindi language, Indian Classical Vocal Music and Yoga. Dedicated, hard-working and committed team of volunteers administers the Vidyalaya.The vision of the Hindu Vidyalaya is to make children and youths aware of their cultural roots and bring a sense of pride about their religion and cultural heritage.
