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 1925 and located in 1931 in its present premises, this ashrama
conducts the following:
-
Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala, situated on an extensive plot of land a little
away from the Ashrama, being a residential higher secondary school with
390 students where, along with academic studies, various extra curricular
activities are held. It has a library with about 15,900 books.
-
Ramakrishna Institute of Moral and Spiritual Education, housed in an impressive
and commodious building in the Vidyashala campus, conducts a one-year BEd
course with moral and spiritual education as one of the compulsory subjects
with about 99 students. Its library has about 24,100 books. Short-term
courses and retreats are conducted for college students and teachers as
well as for the general public. A special feature of the Institute is its
beautiful temple with a tall Gopuram.
-
Rural and tribal welfare work in the tribal belt of Mysore District, concentrating
mainly on agriculture by improving the irrigation system and providing
other inputs,
-
A library with about 14000 books,

and 30 reprints
