…and be a part of realizing Swami Vivekananda’s vision of an awakened nation.
Vivekananda Institute of Values | Ramakrishna Mission, Gurugram
We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.
Children today are being shaped by academic demands, social media, peer pressure — without the guidance to make sense of it.
A child’s mind is shaped every single day. Question is, by whom? And for what?
While academic excellence and career readiness are essential, education must also help children become Thoughtful Human Beings, Awakened Citizens and Courageous Leaders.
This is the foundation that VIVA is building.
VIVA — the Vivekananda Institute of Values — runs programs that awaken in every child what they already carry within: infinite strength, and the ability to choose for themselves. This is Atmashraddhā, self-belief, the foundation Swami Vivekananda placed at the heart of true education.
Reaching across India
“Earlier, whenever I would see someone in need, I would just pass by them. After the program, I always help someone in need. I want to be a responsible citizen for my country.”
“They are very disciplined now. Not by force, but by choice.”
Behind every VIVA program session is a trained resource person, a certified teacher, and years of monitoring to ensure the program is actually changing how a child thinks.
Each school partnership includes: trained facilitators, teacher orientation and training, facilitation kits and guides, regular classroom visits, and independent impact assessments.
This is not a one-time workshop. It is a sustained, multi-year commitment to every school VIVA takes on.
If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library.
For as little as ₹2 per child, per month, you can bring VIVA’s program to an entire school. Here’s the math;
How you can contribute…
This is not a donation that disappears into overheads. It is years of trained facilitators, monitored classrooms, and measured change — reaching a new set of around 500 children, year after year, helping them grow into the awakened citizens Swami Vivekananda envisioned.
