Ramakrishna Mission VidyapithDeoghar, Jharkhand - 814 112

INTRODUCTION

The idea of Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Deoghar was first conceived by Swami

Turiyananda, a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, who inspired Brahmachari Vidyachaitanya to

start a school in order to implement the man-making ideas of Swami Vivekananda.

Accordingly, Br. Vidyachaitanya rented a small house at Mihijam in May 1922 and started

a school with three day-scholars. Eight months later, in January 1923, he left Mihijam and

came to Deoghar with twelve students. Staying initially in a house on Rohini Road for one

and a half months, he subsequently shifted to another place on the Kachahari Road.

Thereafter, in mid 1924, he once again shifted the school to the Khema Villa and the Bama

Villa in Deoghar.

Meanwhile, the work of procuring a plot of land for Vidyapith went on in full swing. On

its accomplishment, the portion of the school located at Khema Villa was removed in 1925

to a couple of newly constructed houses, keeping the other portion at Bama Villa for a while

more. Finally, when Vidyapith was totally shifted in its new premises, Swami Shivanandaji

Maharaj, the then President of the Ramakrishna Order paid a visit and inaugurated the

school ceremonially on January 19, 1926, the holy Saraswati Puja day. Shivanandaji Maharaj

was deeply impressed by Vidyapith’s dedicated services and said: “I visualize a great future

for Vidyapith. I am convinced that great work will be done through this institution.” His vision

has indeed come true.

To shape Vidyapith from scratch, Brahmachari Vidyachaitanya had to struggle hard.

Swami Turiyananda appreciated him wholeheartedly for his back-breaking efforts and

affectionately called Vidyapith “A Brahmacharya Vidyalaya”. Swami Saradananda, the then

General Secretary of the Ramakrishna Mission and a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, extended

all possible support during Vidyapith’s formative years.

Brahmachari Vidyachaitanya became a Sannyasin in due course and received the

monastic name of Swami Sadbhavananda. In his first report as the Secretary of Vidyapith,

he wrote: “Living in touch with sannyasins, the boys breathe here in an atmosphere of

sacrifice and purity. The habit of self-help which strengthens the character of a man and

makes him fit for the struggle of life is also carefully cultivated in the boys. By locating the

school at a healthy place and by giving boys proper physical training, the institution aims

at the improvement in their health. In short, it affords to its boys secular culture based on

spirituality.”

Vidyapith has been relentlessly following the principles of Swami Sadbhavananda laid

down at the outset. It trains boys academically, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, morally

and spiritually. In other words, Vidyapith is committed to implementing Swami Vivekananda’s

“Man-making and Character-building Education”.

Deoghar

Deoghar is a well known place of worship. It is a place of Lord Shiva with an ancient

temple of Baba Baidyanath. It is also a Shaktipith which is believed to have been harbouring

the ‘heart’ of Goddess Sati.

Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda made pilgrimages to

Deoghar at different times. Deoghar therefore has a special significance in the history of

the Ramakrishna Movement. The ‘educational work’ of Ramakrishna Mission began from

here formally, with the opening of the Vidyapith school.

A Premier Institution

A small school initially, Vidyapith has now grown into a premier institution of the country

with many other activities added to it. This has been possible because of the indefatigable

labour and the persistent prayers of the monks, workers and devotees of this centre of the

Ramakrishna Mission.

Since a good deal of spade-work by its pioneers had gone into its beginning, Vidyapith

stands on a solid foundation and eventually steers past many challenges. It has grown from

strength to strength, creating ripples in society.

Nine Decades

Vidyapith has now completed ninety two years of its existence. It is, therefore, rich in

experience and expertise. Witnessing ups and downs within this period, it has had slices

of joy and ounces of sorrow during this period. A defining moment, however, arrived when

it was conferred the “National Award” for outstanding work in the field of child welfare by

the Government of India, in 1986. In recognition of its excellence, there are otherwise,

accolades galore, for the exceptional performances in different fields of activity.

Vidyapith Today

The school is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi. It had

510 students on its roll from classes VI to XII during 2013-14. Its residential section is divided

into 16 Dhams (houses) named after the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna.

Vidyapith lays emphasis on value-based education. Boys, along with their daily lessons

in academic students, receive instructions in Indian Culture & Value Education (ICVE). They

attend morning and evening prayers in the shrine everyday. And, if need be, innovations

in their training are also made, keeping the requirements of the changing time in view. In

fine, for a comprehensive growth of boys, efforts are made to combine the modern method

of education with the traditional method of Gurukula system.

Educational Exhibition

The Biennial Educational Exhibition of the Vidyapith was inaugurated on 22 August

2013 by Swami Suviranandaji Maharaj, Assistant Secretary, Ramakrishna Math and

Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, Howrah in the presence of Dr. Debiprosad Duari, Director,

Research & Academic, M. P. Birla Institute of Fundamental Research, Kolkata. Students

from class VII to XII as well as 6 other local schools participated in 18 departments during

the exhibition. This Biennial Educational Exhibition was open for general public till 24 August,

2013. More than 2000 visitors witnessed this exhibition and it was appreciated by one and

all. The students of Vivekananda Balakendra also were allotted a full room and displayed

their items beautifully. We have also arranged a Mobile Exhibition Van from 22 – 24 August

2013.

Value Education

Vidyapith lays emphasis on value-based education. Boys, along with their daily lessons

in academic studies, receive instructions in Indian Culture & Value Education (ICVE).

Discipline is considered the cardinal virtue in Vidyapith. It expects the students to be honest,

obedient, respectful, dutiful and sympathetic. On top of all, it wants that they should have

love for the nation and its less-fortunate citizens.

An atmosphere of devotion and dedication, the Vidyapith holds, is absolutely necessary

for proper education. Congregational prayers, devotional songs and fortnightly Ramnam

Sankirtan in the campus create the right ambience for the purpose. Religious festivals viz.

Janmashtami, Shiva Ratri, Holi, Sri Sri Saraswati Puja, Viswakarma Puja, birthdays of the

Holy Trio, are celebrated. Boys take part in the shrine duties and ceremonial worships on

various occasions.

The students clean their hostels in the morning. They practise Vedic Chanting regularly.

Hanuman Chalisa is also recited in the hostels. As an auspicious beginning to Vidyapith life,

Vidyarthivrata Sankalpa with Vedic Homa is performed every year for the new entrants to

classes VI and XI.

As a part of moral and value based education in Vidyapith, there is a tradition of awarding

prizes for Best Inculcation of Values, Best Behaviour and Best Leadership to the boys of

classes X and XII. This year the prizes for Best Inculcation of Values, Best Behaviour and

Best Leadership in class X were given respectively to Aditya Vats, Aditya Kashyap and

Sachin Vats and in class XII, to Mayukh Singh, Vibhaswan Roy Choudhury and Vipul Kumar

Mishra.

The purpose of the education process of Vidyapith is to achieve a comprehensive

growth in the students. It believes youths academically accomplished, intellectually sharp,

compassionately sensitive, physically active, morally sound and spiritually evolved are the

real assets of the nation.

Physical Education

Boys receive training from qualified physical instructors who train students under the

supervision of the Chief Warden. Of late ‘Physical Education’ has been introduced as an

elective subject for the Senior Secondary Students.

There are qualified coaches also for gymnastics, karate, yoga and band. Boys participate

regularly in drills and games, using two well-equipped indoor and multi-gym facilities as well

as 21 playgrounds in the campus.. Tournaments are organized for football, cricket, table

tennis, volleyball and basketball.

Parade troops and the band party of Vidyapith keep spectators spellbound with smart

turnouts and rhythmic displays, both within Vidyapith premises and at District Parade Ground

during the Independence Day and the Republic Day celebrations. Soldiers of the Ramgarh

Cantonment (Sikh Regiment) train the boys for Parade (and Band) display. The Vidyapith

team was adjudged the best in Deoghar district among those who participated in the Republic

Day rally at the K.K.N.Stadium.

Literary and Cultural Activities

“VIDYAPITH”, a school Magazine, is published every year with writings from students,

staff, monks as well as guest contributors. Special wall magazines are prepared by the boys

and displayed on boards. These make interesting reading with articles, stories, poems,

drawings, cartoons and other attractive features. Dramas are presented by the boys on

different occasions under the direction Sri Tanmoy Karmocar, a professional theatre

personality from Kolkata.

Relief Activities and Nara-Narayan Seva

As with the earilier years Vidyapith conducted blanket-distribution during 1 December

2013 to 9th January, 2014. Altogether 841 blankets were distributed among poor Santhali

people from remote villages. A total quantity of 575 Kgs. skimmed milk was distributed

among poor and needy children. More than 5000 devotees and needy people were fed

during the Nara-Narayana Seva on the occasions of Sri Sarada Devi’s Tithi Puja, Swami

Vivekananda’s Tithi Puja, Mahastami Day, Saraswati Puja and on Sri Ramakrishna’s Tithi

Puja.

Dairy, Bakery and Garden

The Vidyapith Dairy has a total of 124 cows with an average yield of 474 ltrs. per day

(2013-14). Almost the whole of the milk produced is consumed by the inmate students and

residential staff. The dairy has mechanised milking facility and the cowdung produce obtained

is used to run bio-gas plants, used in kitchen-cooking.

Vidyapith also has a huge garden spread across the sprawling campus. In addition to

flower plants of various types—there are vegetable and fruit trees, the majority of the yield

from which is consumed within the Ashrama itself. Vidyapith also has a small bakery to meet

the internal requirements of loaves, biscuits, cakes and other confectionaries.

Spots of Special Interest within Vidyapith

Museum:

Built the co-operation of National Museum, this museum of modest size comprehensibly

represents the rich heritage of India. India’s achievements in religion, arts, sciences, literatures

and other spheres through the ages have been depicted in it. An important place has been

given to the tribal cultures and lifestyles of India’s indigenous peoples, employing relevant

models, materials and images. Besides, it presents a collection of objects, photographs and

accounts of personalities connected with the development of this Institution over the decades.

There is also a section devoted to the life and contribution of Sri Sarada Devi.

Ramakrishna Darshan:

A permanent exhibition consisting of rare photographs, fibre glass relief images and

descriptions related to them, Ramakrishna Darshan is a story of Ramakrishna Movement

14

graphically said. It chronologically demonstrates the history of the Movement, showing the

roles played by Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda and his brother

disciples. It lays emphasis on two visits of Swami Vivekananda to the West, his interactions

with many important people abroad and views of well known Indian thinkers influenced by

him.

Aviary:

The aviary contains some birds of uncommon varieties and coloured plumages, such

as the Love Bird, Speaking Moyna, Wild Peacock and Kakatuah. They are being provided

with natural habitats in big cages. A few white hares are also kept in a separate enclosure.

It a piece of garden with birds, flowers, trees and cactuses.

Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool is a comparatively recent addition to Vidyapith. As stated earlier,

boys use it regularly to learn swimming from a qualified instructor. Its water is being maintained

clean, free from germs and contaminations by proper technology.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give

a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance of the Ramakrishna

Math/Mission Vidyapith, Deoghar. This responsibility includes the design, implementation

and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the

financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our

audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing generally

accepted in India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and

plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts

and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s

judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial

statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor

considers internal control relevant to the Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Deoghar, preparation

and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are

appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by

management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to

provide a basis for our audit opinion.
