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.),

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

Nagar, a quiet place with beautiful natural surroundings

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.

TRAINING AND THE SCHOOL

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.

Their wards should devote at least sometime every day to prayer and serious study.

Boys should not be allowed to be in badcompany either through friends or TV or Internet. Theyshould not be allowed to see Cinema/T.V. shows or surfingthe Internet except those meant for students. Unless theguardians have full faith in the educational ideals of theVidyapith, and unless full co-operation as a team isreceived from them, the training in the Vidyapith for theformation of character of the boys cannot be effective.
