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.

Started in 1936, and affiliated in 1941, this ashrama conducts the following:

  • A high school with 295 boys and 124 girls,
  • A Sanskrit UP school with 200 boys and 80 girls,
  • A junior basic school with 38 boys and 26 girls,
  • A students' home with 136 inmates, including 76 tribals and scheduled caste boys,
  • A library and reading-room with about 8,900 books and 24 periodicals and dailies,
  • A publication department mainly for books in Malayalam,
  • A free ayurvedic dispensary which treats about 5300 cases annually
  • A community centre for Harijans with a library for children with about 4200 books
  • A typewriting training centre with 20 Harijan students, and
  • A creche for 30 Harijan infants
  • Daily worship, monthly retreats and occasional classes and public lectures in and outside the premises,
  • Celebration of the birthdays of Sri Ramakrishna, the Holy Mother, Swami Vivekananda and other prophets
