Swami Vivekananda, the great spiritual leader, who saw a vision for an awakened India following its golden tradition of education, character-building & spirituality, was born on 12 January 1863. Year 2013 will be the 150th Birth Anniversary of this National Hero. Ramakrishna Mission will celebrate this auspicious occasion worldwide to pay homage to Swami Vivekananda and to leave a permanent mark on the society.
Swami Vivekananda emphasized, “We want that education by which character is formed,
strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s
own feet”.
.
To celebrate this great event Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Vrindaban, a branch of
Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, has the privilege to conduct Swami Vivekananda Bal Vikas
Yojana to aims for all-around development of children up to age of 12 years from poor and
backward areas and improvement of their health through elimination of malnutrition,
immunization etc.
.
Needless to say that we all have to play an important role for the successful completion of
the projects through contributing our manpower as well as funding the projects, whichever is
possible. Let us all work together and strive our best in making the Celebration a memorable one
.
The details of the project are as follows:
Objective : The basic objectives of this project is to scope the target children (between the age group
of 6-12 years) for physical, educational, moral, cultural & spiritual development, by providing them
nutritious diet Nutritive food supplements, immunization, periodical Check-ups and necessary
toiletry arranging all kinds of aids for their study (teachers also) and cultural growth, imbibing
them sense of hygiene, importance of living together in society, understanding their fellow beings,
and most of all offering them an affectionate loving care; and thus making them prepared to flow
with the main flow of society
We have started: We have started three such projects at three different places taking 100 students at
each centre. These are –
1) Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Panighat, Vrindaban (with the children from Goranagar
Colony, Shyamkuti, Panighat).
2) Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Shyamnagar, Rajpur, Vrindaban (with the children from
Rajpur village). And
3) Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Vrindaban (with the children from Rajpur village, Taras
Mandir of Vrindaban)
There are still a large number of children not covered under these projects. We wish to reach
many more such children depending on the availability of financial resources
.
The expenditure of Swami Vivekananda Bal Vikas Yojana is Rs. 4,48,000/- for three months for
100 children x 3 projects = Rs. 13,44,000 for 300 students for three months
