Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalayas in Arunachal Pradesh are the schools imparting holistic and quality education. Vivekananda Kendra is a movement, a spiritually oriented service mission, envisaged by Mananeeya Eknathji.

Each soul is potentially devine. The gole is to manifest this divinity within, by controlling the nature, external and internal.Do this either by work, or by workship, or by psychic control, or by philosophy - by one, by more, or all these and be free. This is the whole of religion.Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.

There are great words of Swami Vivekananda. This is our philosophy for achieving the gole of life and becoming free.It is a legacy of the great Indian cultural heritage. This heritage that visualizes an Ideal Society nurtured and cultured by Spirituality. This Oriental wishdom ought to be shared with the community of the nations of the world for emergence of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - a global family with peace and harmony.

A global family aspires for happiness and well being of all.Not the globalization, that has marketing and profit making on its agenda. The globalization, world trade with cut-throat competition and hegemony over other nations, have a significant effect on the educational system. It only churns out pseudo-intellectual giants, who are but emotional weaklings and spiritual dwarfs.Fortunately, parents and teachers community and many world organizations are showing concern and looking for far-reaching and versatile education system.

While presenting a lead document on "Vision of Education for 21th century" at UNESCO, Dr.Karan Singh, the Vedic Scholar and noted educationist has enunciated four pillars of education under:

• Learning to do (Karma Yoga)
• Learning to know (Jnana Yoga)
• Learning to live together (concept of love and sharing - Bhakti Yoga)
• Learning to be (Concept of self control - Raj Yoga)

Education or learning is an instrument for holistic development of a child. It is an intrinsic process for the self, to realize the environment one lives in. The learning may be formal, informal, incidetal and even accidental. It does not take place only inside the structured classroom through a pre-arranged and controlled process but happens at every moment all through one's life. It is a continuous and never ending exercies.

The responsibility lies entirely with the school to prepare a learner for a life beyond the four walls of the school, instead of merely loading him with information which in any case he can collect himself by study or through experience. the education is not limited to equip one to earn for a better standard of life but to better one's life as well, so as be an example for others. Vivekananda Kendra Vidayalayas aim to do just so.
