Run for Brotherhood – A Marathon @ VKV Jairampur
Jairampur,Sept
11: Vivekananda Kendra, a spiritually oriented service mission, is a
thought movement started under the leadership of Mananiya Eknathji
Ranade with the twin ideals of Man Making & Nation Building in 1972.
It has galaxy of service activities in every nook and corner of India
ablated centrally by the karyakarthas having its headquarter at
Vivekanandapuram, Kanyakumari. The genesis of every project and service
activity of the Kendra is mooted with the divine inspiration of Swami
Vivekananda and His kaleidoscopic vision of the society in general and
countryside in particular. In lieu of such vision and mission,
Vivekananda Kendra has explored the proximity of its realization through
the mandate of education, renunciation, dedication and service. The
quality education being the panacea to all evils, that the Kendra has
adopted as one of its weapons to curvature the degeneration of human
values, is the only reason to open the centre of learning wherever the
necessity was agglutinated. The people of Arunachal Pradesh placidly
felt the dignity of true education and reciprocated Vivekananda Kendra
to launch its educational activities in the state. Initially, the
teachers after being trained were put in the Govt. schools to nurture
the children, but soon it was realized to have pervaded constraints in
the five fold developments of the learners. This invited acute pressure
from the parents and public leaders to open schools by Vivekananda
Kendra to impart value based education to the needy children of
Arunachal Pradesh and thereby, seven schools were conceptualized in
1977, of which, VKV Jairampur is one. The journey of VKVs in the
proximal of education has, thus, called upon a celebration of 40 years
of relentless service of VKVs by the alumina to accolade their loving
complements to their temples of learning. ‘Run for Brotherhood – A
Marathon’ is a great leap forward in the outline of an invitation to one
and all to spread the doctrine of brotherhood that Swami Vivekananda
has left to his followers and disciples to domicile upon, as well as to
have a serene beginning to the year long celebration.
VKV Jairampur, being one of the first seven schools, too organized the ‘Run for Brotherhood – A Marathon’
on the eve of Universal Brotherhood Day to join in the celebration of
40 Years of relentless Service of VKVs to the people of Arunachal
Pradesh. The marathon was attended by students, teachers, public
leaders, VKVians, Assam Rifle and the people of the area at Police Check
Post, Jairampur early in the morning to run for brotherhood. Sri Izmir
Tikhak, senior public leader and well wisher of VKVs flagged off the
venerated participants gathered over there. In his inaugural address, he
spoke very lavishly about the contributions of VKVs to the people of
Arunachal.
The
marathon also witnessed the ostentatious roles of the youth of the area
who were found very stanch to showcase the pragmatism of brotherhood to
establish tolerance, truth and peace giving vent to truth which is not
something exclusive but that every path, religion, philosophy, culture
has a path of truth.
