Since then the Home grew in dimensions and activities adhering to the principle of service to mankind in the spirit of worship. Today, the Home is an educational complex with several schools and colleges wherein nearly four thousand students are receiving education and training in different subjects and trades according to the aptitude of each individual. • This College which forms an integral part and unit of this educational complex is owned and managed by the Ramakrishna Mission. The foundation stone of the College was laid by Swami Vireswaranandaji Maharaj, the then General Secretary of the Ramakrishna Mission, on 3rd December, 1961 and the College started functional in July, 1963. • The College was established with a view to commemorating the First Birth Centenary of Swami Vivekananda, the Illustration Patriot-Saint of India and with a view to imparting a general education on a religious background in the light of the teachings of Ramakrishna - Vivekananda so that the young pupils may get ample opportunities to build up their character to make themselves useful to their families and to fulfil at the same time their basic obligation to the country.

Mande, DG, CSIR, during the lighting of the lamp THE Council of Scientific and Industrial Research small gathering at the SS Bhatnagar Sabhagar at (CSIR) celebrated its 79th Foundation Day on Anusandhan Bhawan, CSIR Headquarters in New 26 September 2020. In view of the COVID-19 Delhi maintaining social distancing. However, CSIR pandemic, the event was physically attended by a staff from all CSIR labs joined the occasion virtually. CSIR News October 2020 181 CSIR Foundation Day Celebration for CSIR.” Appreciating the efforts of CSIR, he said that he and Hon’ble Prime Minister have huge expectations and belief in the potential of CSIR and its scientists. Dr Harsh Vardhan said that whenever there has been a challenge before the country in any form, CSIR has always been able to convert it into an opportunity delivering innumerable benefits to the society. “The entire scientific community of India has been serving the cause of mitigation of COVID-19 in the best possible manner,” said the Hon’ble Minister. “Irrespective of the mandate and varied fields, all labs of CSIR contributed to the battle against the pandemic and Dr Harsh Vardhan addressing the gathering after six months of the active fight since the time of the lockdown, there are so many developments with us that could be called exclusive contributions of the CSIR family,” he added.
