About Us

 

Ramakrishna Mission Saradapitha is a branch center of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math — dedicated to the teachings & principles of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. Saradapitha seeks to promote educational & spiritual growth among the masses through its educational services, welfare activities, spiritual discourses and scriptural classes.

Saradapitha traces its origins to Swami Vivekananda’s ideal of a comprehensive education that blends Eastern and Western wisdom fostering the harmonious development of head, hand, and heart in an individual. He had a divine vision for the south plot near Belur Math – to create a center of excellence where grammar, philosophy, science, and literature would be taught. He blessed the plot and envisioned it to be a great center of learning. 

True to Swamiji’s vision of a temple of learning combining the best elements of the ancient ‘Gurukula’ tradition of India and the scientific temper of the West, Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira came into being on 4th July, 1941, as an Intermediate Arts college. Later, the Governing Body of Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, authorized the establishment of a branch center named as Ramakrishna Mission Saradapitha to oversee all educational activities in the vicinity of the Math campus.

Saradapitha’s journey began over 80 years ago and it continues the tradition of promoting the spiritual and moral values, with various programs and initiatives that serves people from all walks of life. 

Saradapitha runs several educational institutions and welfare programs, including a degree college, a teacher education college, a polytechnic college offering engineering diplomas, and an industrial training institute. Courses are offered in community training centers and a residential agro-based training center, as well as programs are offered that provide need-based vocational training, non-formal education, and health & hygiene activities.
