K. N. Govindacharya was born in the holy city of Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. His father Shri Nil Meghacharya moved to Varanasi as a lecturer in Sanskrit University when child Govindacharya was of very tender age. Child K.N. Govindacharya started his academic pursuit in Varanasi. He completed his M.sc. from Banaras Hindu University in 1962. As a student in Various stages, Mr. K.N. Govindacharya was very active and closely associated with Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh. He became a full fledged RSS Pracharak in 1965.
1974 was a turning point in the history of Indian politics when Shri Jayaprakash Narayan gave the call of Sampurna Kranti (Total Revolution). Shri K.N. Govindacharya played a crucial role in the movement , popularly called as JP movement . At that time he was working in Bihar as Sangh Pracharak. After JP movement he was asked by Sangh leadership to work in Akhil Bhartitya Vidyarthi Parishad, a student wing of RSS. In 1988 RSS sent him to work in Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP). He gave his services to the Party till the year 2000.
During his tenure as General Secretary, BJP acquired the status of a ntional Party. He was considered chief ideologue for Bharatiya Janata Party and the brain behind several successful campaigns including Ram Janmbhumi Movement. Legendry Rath Yatra was conceived by shri Govindacharyaji which was undertaken by Shri LK Advani. Shri LK Advani owes a lot to Shri KN Govindacharya. He was the chief architect of the party in mid- 90’s and was responsible for the social engineering philosophy. He stands for Equal Opportunities. He promoted and pioneered Swadeshi and Hindutva Revival.
Govindacharyaji is a walking University on several issues. He forsaw the disastrous impact of Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) negotiations and the prospects of World Trade Organization (WTO). His vision for India did not fit India joining the WTO in mid 1990s. It was very much agonizing for him when he found that not only BJP, but all the mainstream political parties are more than willing to follow the dictates of the WTO without caring for its implications. In this background Shri K.N. Govindacharya decided to take “study leave” from the active politics in September, 2000 . He devoted himself to the Study for 2 years on the impact of globalisation on polity, society, economy and culture in India.
In course of his study, Shri K.N. Govindacharya realised that in the Indian context State alone can not be the decisive force. Here social capital and cultural practices play far more important role even in economic development of the country. Today Shri K.N. Govindacharya believes that challenges before the nation have to be confronted on three fronts – creative, intellectual and agitational. Therefore, he founded three organizations to fight on these three fronts.
*Bharat Vikas Sangam : This is working for needed model of economic development directed towards swadeshi and decentralisation.
*Kautilya Shodh Sansthan: This is a research organisation working in the civilisational context of Bharat.
*Rashtriya Swabhiman Andolan : This organisation opposes the anti people and anti nature policies of the governments without having any political aspiration of its own.

Param Aadarinya Govindacharya Ji,
Sadar Pranam
First of all ,I should introduce myself. I’m an ordinary Indian man,aged 40 years, a Management Professional.
I was very strong follower of BJP for Nationalism (Not Hinduism). I was believing that this a “Party with Difference”. But slowly during last few years I’ve realized that there is not any difference at all. I was very much impressed from your commitment, conviction & I was very disappointed when you were sidelined. Later after reading a Book : Open Secrets by Mr.M.S.Dhar, I came to know about your contribution for BJP.
Recently I came to know about Rashtriya Swabhiman Manch & then decided to listen Ram Dev Ji. After understanding the Agenda & Views of this party I felt that this is a good start. Later after visiting the Website of the party, I become very happy to see you there.Till then for me you were in “Agyatvas”.
But now when I’ve decided to shift from BJP to RSM , yesterday I heard that you have left RSM & going back to BJP. Now I’m again confused. You were hert , you were mishandled in BJP but if you are going back to BJP & leaving RSM, then there must be some very strong reason behind this. For me, you are not kind of person who shift here & there just for Money, Post or Power. There must be something very Negative in RSM or Very Positive in BJP.
I humbly request you to please guide me. It will be a great honour for me If I get an Email from you,answering my queries.
I do hope that you will give this privilege.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Warmest Regards
