A Note from the Website Administrator
We have not yet been able to get in touch with this center and collect a formal appeal, which we plan to do over course of time but which might take a considerable while due to our having to get in touch with a large number of centers, the remoteness of the centers, as well as their not having any readymade formal appeals in hand.

What we have portrayed below, therefore, is the philanthrophic/charitable activities conducted by this center as submitted in their annual report to the Ramakrishna Mission Headquarters.

As should be obvious, all philanthrophic/charitable activities of Ramakrishna Mission are supported through contributions from kind hearted folks and/or institutions.

The Matri Mandir, established in 1920 in memory of Sri Sarada Devi the Holy Mother at her birthplace, conducts the following:

  • Daily worship, Ramnam, religious classes, birth anniversaries of spiritual teachers and also some festivals,
  • Integrated rural development project started in 1980 under the guidance of Headquarters,
  • A small library with about 2500 books,
  • Welfare work by way of distribution of milk, clothing, textbooks, etc.
The Math sub-centre, the Ramakrishna Yogashrama, Koalpara, 8 km. away, is a quiet retreat associated with the life of the Holy Mother.

Opened in 1930, the Mission Sevashrama conducts the following:

  • A charitable homoeopathic dispensary with a branch at Koalpara, handling about 50,800 cases annually,
  • A junior high school with 257 boys and 143 girls,
  • Two junior basic and two pre-basic (nursery) schools with 298 boys and 175 girls,
  • A library with about 2000 books, and
  • Distribution of books worth Rs. 37000 to 300 students.
