Vocational Training Centre
Swamiji always opined for the need for indigenous production mechanism for economic liberation of the country. He comments,
We need technical education and all else that may develop industries so that men, instead of seeking for service, may earn enough to provide for themselves, and save something against a rainy day. It would be better if the people got a little technical education, so that they might find work and earn their bread, instead of running from pillar to post and crying for service.
With an attempt to bring this vision to reality, Ramakrishna Math, Bolpur has planned to run a Tailoring Coaching Center to empower the poor women of the locality.
