• Vidya Vikas

  At The D/FW Hindu Temple Vidya Vikas, every Sunday, over 100 dedicated volunteer teachers and parents come together from 8:30am to engage in the noble task of enriching the lives of the children of our community with good morals, ethics, religious values, art and culture. The temple is fortunate to have around 30 classrooms dedicated for this very important responsibility and service to the community.

  From a humble beginning of 15 students in 1996, Vidya Vikas has grown to serve more than 500 children and adults. We look forward to see these children carry on this torch to the next generation.
