All school outreach programs conducted at the Ramakrishna Mission, Khar, are based on the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda.

The need of modern India is not just material prosperity but also a strong foundation of character, intellect, and the desire to include our fellow-men in our growing prosperity.

The need, therefore, is of a powerful ideal who can demonstrate to our youth the vaster potentialities of life.

Swami Vivekananda is such a role-model and ideal for today's youth that his birthday (12th January) has been declared by the Government of India as National Youth Day.

Swami Vivekananda has preached the Gospel of Strength and Human Excellence and has inspired multiple generations of leaders in this country.

To Swamiji, each child represents infinite human possibilities. Each child's life represents an infinite capacity to transform our civilization.

Please give your children an opportunity to encounter this extraordinary personality – beyond the clutter of television and films – through the medium of competitions and the like.

Even a brief encounter with the Truly Great can transform our lives forever.
