GENESIS OF THE ORGANIZATION

The areas comprise mainly of Scheduled Tribe, Scheduled caste and O.B.C. population who are largely poverty-stricken for generation and have to live on at the mercy of unscrupulous money lenders.

    After revealing the plight of the inhabitants through generations a few youth fired by the ideals of Swami Vivekananda came forward for a break through with the organization set up of VVK. Thus they started with value based educational Institution for character building of the coming generation. Since its establishment in the year 1987 they devote their lives endeavoring to improve the quality of life of this rural poor through developmental activities mainly in imparting proper education.

Undaunted by the hardships of the remote villages, lack of fund and other hurdles, they have been running the School for over 25 years with missionary zeal.

    The organization’s activities are aimed at the total development of the poor people irrespective of caste and creed with the main objective of providing Education as well as Vocational Training of the economically backward students. Based on the ideals of Swami Vivekananda and other Indian Philosophers, VVK organized its activities.

    We need that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.

    -- Swami Vivekananda

    VVK believes that Education needs to be imparted in such a manner that students are always inspired to become sincere and devoted workers in their respective fields. Education for earning a livelihood is most important today. So functional Education and vocational training have been started to achieve the said objective.
