Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational & Research Institute

Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational & Research Institute intendeds to culminate Swami Vivekananda’s fundamental educational ideas on imparting life-building, man-making and character-building education by combining the best elements of the East and the West. The institute wishes to provide an educational system with combination of the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of India with its ancient tradition of values like sacredness of knowledge, shraddha and devotion to truth and the Western values of scientific temper, rational investigation, science and technology, work efficiency, team work and tenacity.

The aim of the institute is to provide opportunities for education and research in the disciplines of arts, sciences and spiritual studies. Arts will include humanities and social sciences; sciences will include fundamental and applied sciences of all categories as well as technology; and spiritual studies will comprise moral, ethical and value education, and comparative religious studies in their broadest form.

The supplementary and interdependent character of these three disciplines will receive special emphasis in this university. Thus there would be science-based arts and spiritual studies as well as sciences complemented by arts and spiritual studies. Value education will therefore be an essential component in all the courses.

• Disability Management and Special Education
