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.

Founded in 1899 under the inspiration of Swami Vivekananda, this ashrama in the solitude of deep Himalayan forests, commands a magnificient view of the snow range covering some 380 km. in length. It conducts the following:

  • The editorial office of Prabuddha Bharata is located here,
  • Maintains a library with about 11000 books,
  • Maintains a 25-bed charitable hospital handling about 450 in-patients and about 44,350 out-patients annually,
  • An attached guest house providing opportunity for spiritual culture to a limited number of aspirants, and
  • Dairy and agriculture farming maintained on a moderate scale.
