About Vidyarthi Mandiram
Seeking to materialize Swami Vivekananda’s values of man-making and character-building education, the Sri Ramakrishna Vidyarthi Mandiram (SRVM) was started in 1943.
SRVM is a modern hostel and yet almost comparable to an ancient Vedic ashrama. The aim of SRVM is to supplement university academic education by imparting training conducive to the holistic development of students. SRVM facilitates a suitable home for deserving boys outside of Bangalore who desire to excel and such students are supplemented with the institution’s guidance.
- SRVM provides a non-communal and non-political atmosphere.
- The institution facilities character-building and the wholesome spiritual life of its inmates under the guidance of Ramakrishna Math’s Swamiji.
- SRVM exerts special emphasis on physical fitness through games and other activities.
- The inmates of the institution are encouraged to develop individual talents, and monetary support is extended to poor but deserving students.
