Vivekananda Boys Hostel

Vivekananda Boys Hostel is a value orientation and personality development program for children conducted for boys.

The course is designed to instill in children the eternal values of our cultural and spiritual heritage, and to bring out their latent talent through activities like music, yogasana, drawing, painting, Vedic and Bhagavad Gita chanting, recitation of hymns and verses, storytelling. The Vivekananda Boys Hostel was designed to give practical expression to some of the eternal values and manly virtues presented by the great spiritual tradition of India as exemplified and taught by Swami Vivekananda. The directive principles of the Vivekananda Boys Hostel are:

  1. Development of a harmonious character based on all-rounded growth—physical, mental, moral, and spiritual.
  2. Recognition of the dignity of the individual and the spiritual unity and equality of all human beings.
  3. Realization of the fact that one’s true welfare and progress is inseparably linked to that of others, and that sharing and loving service must become an integral part of one’s life.
  4. Stress on the truth that we are the makers of our own destiny, and
  5. Individual and social well-being can be achieved only through steady and sustained effort.

Students from 5th standard are admitted here. The classes are held on Vedic chanting, Vishnu Sahasranama chanting, bhajans, yogasanas, drawing of divine pictures, narration of stories from the lives of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda and great saints, spoken Sanskrit are some of the popular items taught by a number of volunteer teachers. We have a total capacity of 25 Students in our boys hostel.

Why This Hostel Matters

Many of these children come from economically challenged families with limited access to basic education and living facilities. Through this hostel, they receive:

  • Free accommodation and nutritious meals

  • Access to formal education and academic support

  • Value-based living under spiritual guidance

  • Opportunities for skill development and personality growth

Expenses & Support Needed

The annual expense to support a single child — including food, clothing, education, and basic needs — comes to approximately 7.3 lakhs.
Your kind contribution can directly impact a child's future by helping provide a secure and healthy upbringing.
