Siddhartha Vanasthali College of Management is an offspring of Siddhartha Vanasthali Institute. It stands proud of its glorious past, which has its own history built by toil, tear and sweat of its dedicated contingent of teachers and staff members. It has been widely acclaimed and admired for its academic excellence. This institute is still known by its original name 'Vanasthali' though it’s nomenclature and the whole looks have changed. If not all the first name Vanasthali occupies the second place even in the changed context by love and admiration. Late Prof. Bhuwan Lal Joshi and an educationist late Hon’ble Vijayanandan joshi founded Vanasthali Vidyashram in 1951 AD jointly. This was housed in a two-storied mud building with tiled roof at Balaju, six kilometers from downtown Kathmandu. The first batch of students comes from the founders’ family to be followed by the children of the neighborhood. Classroom size grew gradually, though school education was considered to be a privilege of the wealthy people.
