[2] Nestled in a serene 300-acre setting about 19 kilometers from Coimbatore city on the Ooty highway, the Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya stands as a testament to the power of vision and dedication.
The breakdown of beneficiaries demonstrates the program's reach across different demographics: These figures underscore the Vidyalaya's commitment to providing accessible and quality healthcare to those who need it most, contributing to the overall well-being of the rural and tribal communities it serves.
The Vidyalaya's rural development initiatives, including these medical camps, exemplify its dedication to social responsibility and community upliftment, inspired by the ideals of Swami Vivekananda.
[2] While the Tamil Nadu government's noon meal program supports school children, many college and post-matric students from impoverished rural families are left without this crucial benefit.
The entire Vidyalaya community—staff and students alike—participates in a range of activities, including educational exhibitions, annadanam (distribution of food), cultural programs, spiritual lectures, classical music performances, and sporting events.
This three-day event honors Saraswati with a diverse program: an address by a distinguished speaker on the first day, a music concert on the second, and dance and drama performances by various Vidyalaya institutions on the third, each with its own cultural theme.
Approximately twelve colleges from across Tamil Nadu participate each year, giving students a platform to hone their skills and raise public awareness through their dramatic presentations.
Play Festival is an annual event, in which about 4000 students from some 45 primary schools perform physical, yogic and calisthenic exercises to the rhythm of devotional and nationalistic songs.
[3] Recognizing the need for wholesome leisure activities, particularly for children, the Ramayana-Mahabharata Theme Park offers a unique entertainment experience rooted in Indian culture.
Addressing the over-reliance on Western forms of recreation, the park seeks to provide a space for fun, health, cultural enrichment, historical understanding, and pure joy.
Inspired by the enduring influence of the Ramayana on Indian culture, civilization, history, and social values, the park aims to transmit these ancestral principles to a wider audience.
This innovative approach allows children to engage in physical activity and recreation while simultaneously absorbing the Ramayana's powerful lessons about character, art, and culture.
