Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement

Through equitable education, SVYM's Education Programs help to develop the Human and Social Capital of our future generations.

SVYM's educational initiatives target economically disadvantaged students in rural, tribal, and urban areas. They include residential education, scholarship programs for deserving students in rural areas, technology-based learning to enhance and augment the curriculum in rural government schools, vocational skills development, nutrition, health, and hygiene through an integrated Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) component.

Through collaboration with educators, policymakers, and instructors, SVYM's education sector has made the capacity building of teachers a priority, experimenting with new teaching methods.

The goal of SVYM's Health Sector is to enhance human and social capital by providing fair and easy access to healthcare through interventions that are both community- and institution-based.

Every year, Vivekananda Memorial Hospital in Saragur, in the Mysuru District, our Rural Secondary Care Speciality Hospital, serves approximately 40,000 rural and tribal people. It also serves as the centre of our 15+ community health program, which uses a lifespan approach to engage a variety of age groups.

Currently, SVYM provides home, community, and institution-based services to provide promotive, preventative, curative, rehabilitative, and palliative care services. The Government Health System collaborates with a network of community health workers, the Mobile Health Unit (MHU), and the NGO's Secondary Care Hospital to guarantee a continuum of care.

Our health interventions help mothers and expectant mothers maintain the health of their unborn children, recognise and prevent diseases and disorders in children at an early age, and develop the skills necessary for people to fulfil their potential as adults.
