About School

Swami Vivekananda wanted to rehabilitate the past glories of our motherland through an education which would not merely combine in it the best elements of Eastern and Western culture but would at the same time hold aloft the Indian ideals of devotion, wisdom and morality so that it might meet the national temperament at every point. With a view to giving shape to Swamiji?s comprehensive scheme of education, the authorities of the Mission started Vidyamandira in 1941 under the auspices of the Saradapitha, a branch of the Ramakrishna Mission. Though originally it was an Intermediate Arts College, it received in 1945 affiliation in some commerce subjects and in 1946 in some science subjects. A higher secondary section (classes XI and XII) was added in September, 1978.

School Campus

The Vidyamandira is located close to the Headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission at Belur, amid peaceful and elevating surroundings free from the din and bustle of the busy city life. The college is purely residential, i.e. all the students should compulsorily reside in its hostels.

It is located on the Grand Trunk Road, 10 kilometers from Calcutta and nearly 7 kilometers from the Howrah Station and is linked up with both, by regular bus and launch services. The college is spread over a big campus and has four college buildings (including the library block), five hostels, two dining halls, a guest-house-cum-generator block, a spacious auditorium (the Vivekananda Sabhagriha) and two large playgrounds. The auditorium has a seating capacity of 835. Cultural functions suited to different occasions, annual prize distribution function, seminars & symposia etc. are held in this beautiful auditorium all through the academic year.
