INTRODUCTION
The Ramakrishna Mission Vidyapith, Deoghar is an
Ashrama. It has a residential Senior Secondary School for
boys of classes VI to XII. It is administered by the monks of
the Ramakrishna Order, under the direct control and
guidance of the Headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission
at Belur Math, Howrah, West Bengal.
5Prospectus
Vidyapith was honoured with the National Award
for outstanding work in the field of Child Welfare by the
Government of India in 1986. It functions according to the
ideas and ideals of education propounded by Swami
Vivekananda.
Being inspired by Swami Turiyananda, one of the
closest disciples of Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna, some
young monks took initiative and started this school in 1922.
They began with only three students in a small house at
Mihijam in the then Bihar State. However, soon after in
1923, when Mihijam was found inconvenient, the school
was ultimately shifted to Deoghar, and permanently
founded on a piece of land where it now exists.
Vidyapith officially came under the authority of the
Ramakrishna Mission in 1924. It became a High School in
1929. Later, it grew into a Higher Secondary School
affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education,
New Delhi in 1964. And its first batch of students appeared
at the class XI Board examination in 1967.
With the abolition of the Higher Secondary (XI)
system and introduction of the Secondary (X) Plus 2 (Senior
Secondary) system by the Central Board, Vidyapith was
eventually reverted to a Secondary School in 1975.
Continuing for 25 years as such, it was finally upgraded to
a Senior Secondary School under the same Board in 2000.
Grappling with numerous adversities, the seed which was
sown almost nine decades ago has now evolved into an
esteemed Multi-purpose Model Educational Institution.
OBJECT
Education, in order to be effective and fruitful, must
be “Man-making”, that is, it must bring about an integrated
6Prospectus
development of personality in a student. This can be
achieved only if a student is being brought up in a congenial
atmosphere. Swami Vivekananda had prescribed the
Gurukula system of education for the purpose. Vidyapith
has therefore taken resort to this ancient system, making it
suitable for the students of modern times.
Beside the stipulated academic education, Vidyapith
offers training to become active, self-reliant and moral. In
a word, it imparts education to build character in line with
the ideal of sacrifice and service which is absolutely
necessary for Nation building. Contributions of its ex-
students in different fields amply speak of the values they
absorbed during their stays in the peaceful environment
of Vidyapith.
LOCATION AND CLIMATE
Located at Baidyanath Dham, Jharkhand, one of the
famous places of
Shaiva pilgrimage
in India, and only
7 kilometres from
Jasidih Jn. (E. Rly.),
from where both
train and auto
rickshaw services
are available, the
R a m a k r i s h n a
Mission Vidyapith
affords its young
pupils an opportunity to live in a pollution free, green and
spiritually elevating atmosphere. It is in Ramakrishna

with villages and agricultural areas within walking
distance. A popular health resort with bracing climate,
Deoghar contributes significantly towards a healthy growth
and development of Vidyapith students.

leadership of a monk who is the Principal-cum-Secretary.

Full co-operation of the parents and guardians isessential in order to attain the high academic standard aswell as sublime ideals and aims of the Vidyapith.
