==History==

Gujarat Vernacular Society was founded by British East India Company administrator, Alexander Kinloch Forbes on 26 December 1848 along with Dalpatram.〔 The fund of Rs 9601 was raised from locals, Baroda State and British officers. The society had in 1877 a fund of £2791 (Rs. 27,910), of which £1000 (Rs. 10,000) were contributed by Premchand Raichand of Bombay. The first newspaper in Gujarat was started in Ahmedabad by this society. It was a weekly paper issued on Wednesday, ''Budhvar'', and hence in Ahmedabad all newspapers were called ''Budhvariya'' during those times. The library, now included in the Hemabhai Institute, and the first girls' school in Ahmedabad, were established by the help of this society. Useful books were printed by it, and the publication of others was helped by money grants. It brought out a monthly magazine, the ''Buddhi Prakash'' or Light of Knowledge, which in 1876 had a monthly sale of 1250 copies. The society helps libraries in all parts of Gujarat and Kathiawar, and gives prizes to schools. It undertakes to sell and distribute books, and offers annual prizes for essays on various useful subjects. A yearly prize of £15 (Rs. 150) is given for the best Gujarati essay on a given subject, the funds coming from an endowment of £250 (Rs. 2500) given in 1864 by a Bombay merchant, Sorabji Jamsedji Jijibai.
Its library contained (1877) 1590 volumes in various languages. At the close of 1876 there were forty-eight life members, two yearly members, and two honorary members. Its yearly receipts amount to about £180 (Rs. 1800) and its expenditure to £129 (Rs. 1290).
Textile pioneer of Gujarat, Rao Bahadur Ranchhodlal Chhotalal donated money to the Gujarat Vernacular Society to start girls high school, which was started in 1892 and was named as RB Ranchhodlal Chhotalal Girls High School, after the donor.〔Census of India, 1961 - Volume 5, Issue 1 - Page 187〕
The society changed its name to Gujarat Vidyasabha in 1946.〔
The Vidyasabha is currently presided by Balkrishna Doshi.〔
