Chinmaya Vidyalaya

Chinmaya Mission was an inspiring initiative taken by Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda in 1951 to continue his legacy of spreading the Vedantic message of peace and happiness to the modern world. Swami ji worked in this direction for over four decades as a great ascetic of contemporary India. The mission today has 77 Chinmaya Vidyalayas and 8 Chinmaya Colleges that ensure education with a difference. All of these institutions operate as per the remarkably formed Chinmaya Vision Program, which includes a comprehensive academic structure. The idea behind this education program is to let the children face a true vision of life and to further prepare them to face every challenge with a positive and dynamic outlook. It includes enhancing every side of their personalities, be it physical, mental, intellectual or spiritual.

BOARDING MOMENTS

Hostels are veritable ‘homes away from home’ for students to live and learn in an environment that helps them to grow in the most desirable of ways. Boarders are given a feeling of comfort and well-being. They come to learn the values of discipline, regularity, self-dependence and punctuality besides cultivating bonds that are based on trust, cooperation, mutual respect and teamwork. The hostels are modern-day ‘ashrams’ of the Vedic times and help shape a holistic personality of the scholar. Independence and self-reliance are tempered by compassion, empathy and generosity for all sentient beings.
