The Ramakrishna Mission (RKM) would set up a centre focusing on “employability training” courses for the youths of the State.
The foundation of the training centre would be laid by Meghalaya Governor Ranjit Shekhar Mooshahary and Union Minister for Water resources and Minority Affairs, Vincent Pala on April 27 at the RKM Vivekanda Cultural Centre at Quinton Road.
The day marks the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Swami Vivekanda and the platinum jubilee celebrations of RKM, Shillong. It also coincides with the 111th anniversary of Swami Vivekanada’s visit to Shillong.
“The training centre would focus on special training courses such as disaster management and others where the employability issue has been considered,” Swami Achyuteshanandaji, Secretary RKM, Shillong said.
Informing that the RKM runs 600 schools and colleges throughout India, he added, that in Sohra (Cheerapunjee) region alone the mission runs 73 schools catering to over 10,000 students.
The monk added that RKM would submit a memorandum to the State Government for financial assistance for the construction of the building. “We do hope that the State Government would assist us financially for the institution,” he said.
Moreover, the Mission has also said that it would coordinate with the State Government in its effort to save the house in Laban where Swami Vivekanda stayed during his visit to Shillong. The dilapidated house is involved in litigation and requires urgent restoration work.
“A large number of tourist visits the Meghalaya from West Bengal (WB.) If this house is restored by according it a heritage status then it would boost the inflow of tourist from WB. We can coordinate with the State Government if required,” Achyuteshanandaji stated.
