Welcome to the Official site of Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Purulia

The Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Purulia, was established in the year 1957 with the object of giving a practical and concrete shape to some of the educational ideas of Swami Vivekananda. Education, in order to be effective and fruitful, must be man-making, that is, it must bring about total and integrated development of the personality of the students. This can be achieved only when the students are brought up in surroundings where their body, mind and spirit can be looked after to effloresce in a congenial environment. In this context, Swami Vivekananda prescribed the ancient Gurukula system of education. The Vidyapith has adopted this system, suited and adapted to modern conditions of life.

OUR MOTTO

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.

What we want is Western Science coupled with Vedanta, Brahmacharya as the guiding motto, and Shraddha and faith in one’s own self.

We need technical education and all else that may develop industries so that men, instead of seeking for service, may earn enough to provide for themselves and save something against a rainy day.

It is man-making religion that we want. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man-making education all round that we want.

-Swami Vivekananda

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Purulia, was established in the year 1957 with the object of giving a practical and concrete shape to some of the educational ideas of Swami Vivekananda. The Higher Secondary section was started in 2000 and the first batch passed out in 2002. The aim of Vidyapith is to train boys for an all-round development of body, mind and spirit. For achieving this end it is necessary to have faith in the educational ideals of Swami Vivekananda. These ideals are based on Brahmacharya or purity and Shraddha or faith in one’s own self and faith in the preceptor.

OBJECTIVE

The object of this institution is to give an education of the public school type, but suited and adapted to the Indian background. Great care is taken to form the character of the pupils. The Vidyapith being a fully residential institution, it has been possible to give proper stress on leadership training and prepare the students for a democratic society.
