Viveka Vahini Value Education Program (VVEP)<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

This is an outreach program of Ramakrishna Mission, Vijayawada. Monks of Ramakrishna Mission travel to remote villages and expose the students of different schools and colleges to the man-making and character building ideas of Swami Vivekananda. To improve the effectiveness of the program further, 70 schools out of the 113 covered this year were selected in four districts and a year-long \u201cViveka Vahini Values Education Program (VVEP)\u201d was started to achieve sustained effect on student community. A schedule for the students to follow under the supervision of an In-charge teacher was given. Additional inputs were provided to initiate the relevant activities. The Monks are visiting the schools periodically to sustain and reinvigorate the program. The representatives from affiliated Ramakrishna Seva Samithis are also visiting the schools in their locality at least once in a month to oversee the execution of the program and for providing the monthly feedback to us. Based on the feedback, the Monks are in touch with the schools for additional guidance. As part of evaluation and encouragement, periodical competitions are being contemplated along with prize distribution.This year, nearly 35,000 students benefited by this programme and books based on life & teachings of Swami Vivekananda were distributed to them. Swami Vivekananda\u2019s laminated photos with his teaching were distributed to all the schools.<\/p>\n

Appeal<\/h2>

\u201cIf you want to know India, study Vivekananda. In him everything is positive and nothing negative\u201d said Rabindranath Tagore. When Swami Vivekananda was asked in America about his motherland, he said \u201cIndia I loved before I came away. Now the very dust of India has become holy to me, the very air is now to me holy: it is now the holy land, the place of pilgrimage, the Tirtha!\u201d. India is his queen of adoration. Present day India needs, nay desperately needs, Swamiji\u2019s life-giving message. To this great son of India, in what way can we pay homage? The foremost thing we should do is to spread his message. In that direction, Ramakrishna Mission, Vijayawada is running Viveka Vahini – A mobile Value Education Unit – a fully equipped van with audio – video facilities and Ramakrishna – Vivekananda literature. This Viveka Vahini will carry the man-making and character-building message of Swami Vivekananda to the whole of Andhra Pradesh in general and to the coastal districts in particular. The project \u2013 Viveka Vahini is estimated to cost Rs.6 lakhs per annum. We earnestly request you to contribute your mite to this noble cause. Your contribution by cash\/cheque or D.D. can be made in favour of \u201cRamakrishna Mission, Vijayawada\u201d. It will be thankfully received and acknowledged with our official receipt. Please note that donations to Ramakrishna Mission are exempt from income tax under section 80G. <\/p>\n

\nThanking You<\/p>\n

\nYours in the Lord<\/p>\n

\nSwami Sashikantananda<\/p>\n
