Started with a team of enthusiastic persons with small resources, the activities are sustained through a large extent through kind donations from generous people.

Inspired by Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda envisioned a regenerated India combining **Oriental Spirituality with occidental Science and technology**. Our core work is to train young women & men to teach the masses history, geography, science and technology along with the higher truths of religion.

We encourage **Self-employment** through agriculture, industry, trade and commerce, and are committed to the spiritual, educational, and economic development of women, a cause for which Swami Vivekananda brought Sister Nivedita from Europe.

Since its establishment, NVRDC has been engaged in Social Work and Self-employment enriched with **appropriate technology**, primarily on local resource-based activities with emphasis to rural women & backward people.

Our team is constituted with people who have a touch of rural village life and economy and who are sympathetic to the aims and objectives of this Organisation.

Surajit Basu - President (Lifetime)

During the 80's and 90's decade of the 20th Century, Mr. Surajit Basu, our lifetime President, was a student of a rural school in Medinipur district of West Bengal.

He personally faced lot of struggles in childhood due to lack of proper scope of financial and infrastructural facility and saw most of the people in rural Bengal are poor and deprived. Though our motherland is not resource poor yet we are mainly imagination poor.

After completing his studies and establishing a business house in Kolkata, his passion for helping the downtrodden remained. This fire of eagerness to do something for his brothers and sisters of his motherland encouraged him to start the Organisation **NOHARI VIVEKANANDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER (NVRDC) in 2008**.
