Ramakrishna Mission was founded by the great prophet of modern age Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda embraces education, which for him signifies ‘man-making’, as the very mission of his life. Swamiji lays a lot of emphasis on the environment at home and school for the proper growth of the child. The parents as well as the teachers should inspire the child by the way they live their lives. But, quality and access to education is the major concern in rural schools. Presently people living in villages have come to know the importance of giving education to their children. The number of deprived and downtrodden children in such rural areas is vast. Ramakrishna Mission Lokashikha Parishad’s intervention to support such needy children seems minimal in compared to vast figures. So the thrust is on bringing more and more children under the purview of our Child Development Programme.
Sponsor Relation programme is a part of Vivekananda Child Developmemt Programme where some children are selected from our Early Childhood Education centers belonging to poorest families. Such children are brought under sponsorship proggramme through benevolent donations from their sponsorers. The children so selected are provided with educational support from Pre-primary level upto their higher education in Three Phases.
Phase I (Pre-primary to Class X level) – Sponsored children are nurtured under the guidance and care of trained lady teachers at our village based parallel primary education centers/ coaching assistance centers and provided with comprehensive education. The sponsored children get admitted to local government schools in class V. These children are provided with coaching support from class V to Class X level at our special coaching assistance centers.
Phase II (Class XI & XII ) – All the Mahyamik (Class X) passed sponsored children are encouraged to continue their education further. The children continuing their studies are brought under sponsorship and provided with educational support such as books, copies, coaching fees etc.
Phase III (Graduation/Technical level ) – Sponsored children after completing their Higher Secondary education are further provided with educational assistance for their graduation / technical level education through support from sponsors. They are supported with books, copies, coaching fees etc.
