Help Us - Sri Ramakrishna Sevashram

Sri Ramakrishna Sevashram is a rural India based institution having its twin objective of value based education and rural empowerment. Since 1973, we are serving the grassroot level society without any CSR funding, corporate backing or regular grant from the Government.

Swami Vivekananda has already guided us to the path of happiness and peace by mentioning that "No virtue is greater than charity". Hence, we request you to support us by volunteering with us and please extend financial help. It would be of kind assistance to the Ashram if you can introduce us for CSR funding. Our needs below:
