Appeal |
Dear Friends,
You might be aware that the historic Dilaram Bungalow sanctified by the stay of Swami Vivekananda in April 1892 was handed over by the Government of Gujarat to us on 18th April last year for converting it into a befitting memorial of Swami Vivekananda and a new branch centre of Ramakrishna Mission has been started in Vadodara in the same place. The bungalow is quite old and is in a dilapidated condition and it has been further damaged by the heavy rain last year. We have started the renovation work phase wise and in such a manner so that the old features are kept intact since the bungalow was sanctified by the stay of Swami Vivekananda.
We are in urgent need of funds for carrying out renovation work as well as for carrying out various humanitarian activities like public Library, Mobile Medical Unit, conducting Value Education Programmes etc. |
