Our LifeSkills Workshops
We seek to empower students by helping them strengthen their character through what we call the Vivekananda Lifeskills programme. We have formulated several interactive Lifeskills programmes & workshops for the students in Colleges and High Schools. These touch upon topics like:
“Understanding Contemporary Youth Goals & Challenges – Leveraging our Heritage for success!” ,These workshops promote group discussions and team presentations on topics addressing top youth questions on professional and life success, aspirations, expectations, infuences, roles, models, career paths, challenges, conficts & pragmatic compromises etc.
“Understanding Vivekananda – the contemporary youth way!”
"Truly Empowering ourselves"
These programmes include:
(a) a three-part month-long programme that has a 3 hour four-session introductory talks & group discussion – for a target audience of about 200 or so;In addition, we do come up with customized programmes that can meet the needs of host institutions and forms part of our broad charter. These programmes are delivered by experts from Industry & Academia apart from eminent traditional speakers.
Followed by a day long four session intensive deep-dive lifeskills workshop for a target audience of 60 or so and
Followed by three mentoring sessions spread over 10 days for select students, perhaps about 20 in number;

Self Help
Apart from these we reach out to potential youth leadership for starting and
nurturing thematically focused self help groups amongst lower strata of society to
enable them to discover, nurture and bring out the best in their skills, talents and
capabilities. More so in the rural areas.
Additionally, every year, Vivekananda Janoththana Trust has been giving away a
number of motivational rewards to rural youth
for taking maths-science stream after completing their matriculation in order to
nurture rural scientifc career pursuits, more so in the world of ecology and
environmental protection and sustenance along with their subsequent impact on
that economy

Our Aims
Vivekananda Janoththana is focused on reaching out to the Indian youth at large, with mechanisms and means inspired by Swami Vivekananda and the lofty Indian heritage- to enable them to bring out the best in themselves to face the world and serve the society. We believe that excellent professional skills and talent or the accompanying successes do not alone make for a holistic personality. There is more to developing one self than having typical softskills like articulate communication or a pleasant demeanour. We believe that having the grit to develop oneself on multiple dimensions, more so, leveraging our excellent heritage in these matters is vital for every Indian.
