Birla Vidya Mandir, Nainital is a Residential Public School for boys in India that opened in July 1947. The school is the product of the vision of Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant, an Indian independence activist.

Before India achieved its independence Pant wanted to start a public school for a new generation of India that would preserve a love for the country and its heritage and provide a modern education. This vision of Pant materialized from a generous donation from Ghanshyam Das Birla, a philanthropist and industrialist. Pant then used the The then deserted estate of Philander Smith, that had housed the Hallet War School during India's war years to create Birla Vidya Mandir.

The school begins for students who want to study in Class 4th till Class 12th. Though being an English medium school, the ethos are totally Indian. Most of the times, the teachers are referred to as 'Guruji' and 'Didiji'. Prayers in Sanskrit are held before every meal and students celebrate the various festivals of India among each other and the members of the staffs.

The school is affiliated to CBSE Delhi and member of Indian Public School's Conference (IPSC), National Progressive Schools’ Conference(NPSC), CBSE Sahodaya School Complex and International Confederation of Principals (ICP).

The school is an ISO 9002:2000(E) The Quality Management System and ISO:14001:1996 The Environmental Management System certified institution.
