Viveka Varsham is a transformative UPSC coaching program launched in tribute of Swami Vivekananda’s 162nd birthday. This initiative is organized by the Sanathana Dharma Educational Foundation in association with the Swami Vivekananda Charitable Trust for Cultural and Scientific Research.

The program offers 1-year free UPSC coaching to 162 students on the day of Swami Vivekananda’s 162 years. Our focus is to reach underprivileged students and those who are motivated to study but face financial barriers. Students from 6th grade to 12th grade, as well as college students and other eligible candidates, are invited to join this remarkable opportunity.

There is no traditional fee structure for this program. Instead, students contribute a Dakshina of Rs. 1999, which covers a comprehensive UPSC study book designed to guide them through their entire year of preparation.

After completing the 1-year Viveka Varsham course, students who wish to continue their journey towards civil service success have the opportunity to join our advanced programs for further growth:

2-Year Vivekodayam foundation Course:
This program is ideal for those who want to continue with in-depth UPSC preparation. Designed for school students, college students, or working professionals, Vivekodayam offers a more spaced-out schedule, providing ample time for thorough coverage of both Prelims and Mains. With an emphasis on conceptual clarity and an extended focus on optional subjects, this course equips students to excel in the civil services examination.

10-Year Swadhyaya Lifetime Course:
For school students in grades 6-12 looking for a long-term strategy, the Swadhyaya program provides progressive learning over a 10-year period. This unique course integrates basic education with UPSC preparation, fostering leadership qualities, critical thinking, and analytical skills. By the time students are ready for the exam, they will have undergone years of focused preparation, ensuring a higher chance of success.

These advanced programs are designed to support students beyond Viveka Varsham, guiding them step-by-step through their UPSC journey and helping them achieve their dreams.

Viveka Varsham is not just another coaching program—it is a chance to transform lives by making UPSC preparation accessible to students who otherwise might not afford it. Swami Vivekananda believed in education that empowers individuals to rise above challenges and realize their potential. This program embodies his philosophy by giving students the opportunity to achieve their dreams, irrespective of their socio-economic background.

Here’s why Viveka Varsham stands out:

• Free Education: By eliminating traditional fees, the program ensures that students from financially constrained backgrounds can focus on their studies, without worrying about costs.
• Holistic Development: Inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s vision of education, the course is designed to nurture both intellect and character, providing students with the skills they need to excel in the civil services and beyond.
• Inclusive Learning: The program is open to a wide range of students, from middle school to college level, creating a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn.
• Expert Faculty: Our experienced educators specialize in UPSC preparation and provide tailored guidance to help students navigate this challenging journey.
• Path to Success: Upon completing the Viveka Varsham course, students can transition into more advanced programs like Vivekodayam (2-year course) or Swadhyaya (10-year learning journey), ensuring continuous growth and preparation for their civil services aspirations.

Viveka Varsham is an unparalleled opportunity to start a lifelong journey of learning with a strong foundation in the ideals of Swami Vivekananda, preparing you not just for exams but for life.

In today’s world, education has become increasingly business-oriented, leaving many deserving students without access to the opportunities they need. That’s where Sanathana Dharma Educational Foundation and Swami Vivekananda Charitable Trust for Cultural and Scientific Research (SVCTCSR) step in. By joining hands, we aim to uplift the lives of deserving students through UPSC education, offering them the knowledge and guidance necessary to achieve their dreams and transform their future.

These courses offer in-depth coverage of the Prelims and Mains syllabus, alongside leadership and analytical skills, ensuring well-rounded preparation.

Our focus is not just on academic excellence but on nurturing students to become future leaders who embody the values of service, integrity, and dedication as envisioned by Swami Vivekananda. By making education accessible to underprivileged students and breaking financial barriers, we are committed to creating a path where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background.

Swami Vivekananda’s views on education were deeply rooted in the holistic development of individuals, emphasizing not just the acquisition of knowledge, but also the cultivation of character, spiritual growth, and social responsibility. His philosophy on education is timeless and continues to inspire educational thought today.

Here are key elements of Swami Vivekananda’s educational philosophy:

• Education for All
  Swami Vivekananda advocated for universal education, especially for the upliftment of the masses, the poor, and the downtrodden. He believed that the future of the nation depends on the education of its people and said: “If the poor boy cannot come to education, education must go to him.”
• Man-Making Education:
  Swami Vivekananda strongly advocated for “man-making education”, which focuses on building character and instilling values like strength, courage, and self-reliance.
  He believed education should develop an individual’s moral and ethical nature along with intellectual capabilities.
• Holistic Development
  Education, according to him, must ensure the physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual development of individuals. It should not be restricted to bookish knowledge but include the complete growth of the personality.
• Education as a Means of Self-Discovery
  He emphasized that the goal of education is to bring out the inner potential of individuals, referring to it as the “manifestation of the perfection already in man.” He believed every person is inherently divine and education should help reveal this inner divinity.
• Practical and Realistic Approach
  Swami Vivekananda wanted education to be practical, not confined to theoretical knowledge. He said education should equip individuals with life skills, enabling them to solve the problems of life and become self-sufficient.
• Character Building and Values
  He stressed the importance of education that promotes values like compassion, honesty, discipline, and fearlessness. He believed that building good character should be the foremost objective of education.
• Spiritual Foundation
  He emphasized that education should be built on a strong spiritual foundation, where the teachings of spirituality and ethical living form the core of the learning process. This does not mean religious education but rather the development of universal values and inner strength.
• Role of Teachers
  For Vivekananda, teachers played a crucial role. He believed that teachers should be role models, embodying the values they teach, and should inspire their students to become not just knowledgeable but also virtuous individuals.
• Nationalism and Social Service
  He connected education with nationalism and viewed it as a means of building a strong and unified nation. Education, according to him, should foster a sense of duty and commitment to social service and nation-building.

In essence, Swami Vivekananda’s concept of education was transformative, focusing on inner and outer excellence, with the ultimate goal of empowering individuals to serve society and realize their full potential.
