About Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University
RKMVU at Belur
Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, under the aegis of Ramakrishna Mission with Headquarters at Belur Math, Howrah, West Bengal, is a University declared by Government of India under Section 3 of University Grants Commission (UGC) Act, 1956. This paper briefly describes the institute, its aims and objectives, its distinctive features, its major thrust areas, etc.
This University has been conceived not as a mere movement for imparting character-building education to inculcate the fundamental values of truth, purity and unselfishness, and to create educated men and women of impeccable integrity of character, wholesome human beings with head, heart and hand harmoniusly developed. Endowed with brilliant and luminious intellects, loving and overflowing compassionate hearts, and energetic and efficient hands, these children of Mother India educated in a new ethos of self-abandonment rather than self-aggrandizement and self-glorification, will revivify and resuscitate our country to her past glory, thereby helping to actualize one Swami Vivekananda's most favourite visions of a glorious India of the future.
