The Swami Vivekananda Rural Community College founded and managed by Sadguru Sri Gnanananda Seva Trust for the past 3½ years.
SVRCC is a school for dropouts built on three unshakeable foundations:
1. Vocational guidance that will guarantee employment, 2. Life skills that teach the youngsters how to lead a purposeful, positive and happy life, and 3. The value of unconditional love, nurturing care and disciplined affection
SVRCC seeks to find constructive solutions for four problems simultaneously through the great medium of community education: · Catering to the exponential growth in the need for employable people arising from strident growth targets set for the Indian economy · Bringing back into the society, from villages and towns of interior India, school dropouts in 10th and 12th standards who are at a dead end and could become easy prey to disruptive forces that constantly threaten our nation · Reversing the unwelcome trend of massive numbers of youth from the hinterlands coming into metros and large cities in search of the good life, thereby creating a serious imbalance · Contributing to the crucial cause of reaching the benefits of economic development of India across the entire population instead of to a few pockets of the very rich
To update you on what has happened in the last 5 months: The fourth batch of 90 students is training now. The construction of the College is progressing well and is targeted to be completed by June’12. The budget for Phase 1 of the build-out is Rs 3.5 crore and the value of work done so far is Rs 2 crore. We are making an all-out effort to ensure the financial closure of the remaining amount.
