VIVEKANANDA STUDY CIRCLE
 

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - MADRAS

TUITION CENTRE

Swami Vivekananda firmly asserted that Character building through proper education- spiritual and secular- alone will solve all of India's problems. He said -"If the Mountain can't come to Mohammed, let Mohammed go to the Mountain". He also had great hopes in the Youth of the country, that they will grow into future citizens with a compassionate outlook.

This is the motive force behind the tuition Centre at Velachery, which was started in October 1998. Monday through Friday, VSC and NSS volunteers help school going kids in this nearby village in their academics. Saturdays are special sessions, where trained volunteers tell them moral stories, have bhajans etc. The idea is to focus on the Character building part in their formative stage, and to provide them a nice education through personal attention. Needless to say, this gives great satisfaction to the volunteers, and the kids eagerly look forward to the Saturday sessions. On special occasions like Gandhi Jayanthi, Independence day, National Youth day etc, we tell them the importance of the occasion we give them free books and sweets.

Anyone wishing to volunteer for our tuition centre ( or for any other activity ) can contact us by sending an email or contacting the hostel representatives.
