Sadhvi Vishrut Vibha
The 11 codes of Anuvrat were a set of general precepts. Acharya Tulsi recognized that each sphere of the society has its own flaws. Considering the issues of each group in society Acharya Tulsi designed separate Anuvrat for each sector.
Anuvrat for Students:
- I will not resort to unfair means in my examinations
- I will neither sabotage nor take part in violent activities
- I will not use obscene language, will not consume pornographic material
- I will not take drugs and intoxicants
- I will not resort to unethical practices in elections
- I will practice truth and honesty in my behaviour
- I will respect my parents and teachers
Anuvrat for Teachers:
- I will strive to build my students' characters along with their intellectual development
- I will not provide illegal help to students to pass the examinations
- I will not promote immorality in my educational institution, nor will I encourage my students to take part in it
- I will not use drugs and intoxicants
- I will contribute one hour of my time at no cost to extend my students' education
Anuvrat for Business People:
- I will be honest in my business

To this day, Anuvrat inspires people to use self restraint to develop their character while at the same time becoming a stable influence in society.
