The name "ChanakyaMandal Mandal Pariwar" derives its roots from "ChanakyaMandal Vishnugupta" who was a very well known pioneering prime bureaucrat-scholar of ancient India, also known for the book "ArthaShastra". Thus "ChanakyaMandal" embodies selfless dedication to nation building at the same time being economically prudent and astute in strategic planning. "Mandal" indicates a circle - a bond of equality and "Pariwar" indicates family like organization.
Our logo, set in saffron, is the representative color of Indian heritage, color of 'Warkaris' (the Bhakti movement). The logo consists of hands, holding pen in one hand and 'Rajadanda', the Constitution in the other - the mast of "dharma" or duty and the mast of administration, discipline, equality of justice and ethics. One hand is that of a man and the other of a woman, symbolising gender equality and recognition that men and women both will contribute equally in the nation building.
