Vivekananda Kendra Rural Development Programme

Let new India arise in your place. Let her arise out of the peasants cottage, grasping the plough, out of huts of the fisherman, the cobbler and the sweeper. Let her spring from the grocers shop, from beside the oven of the fritter-seller. Let her emanate from the factory, from the groves and forests, from hills and mountains.

"If the poor can not come to education, education must go to him"

Each work has to pass through these stages--ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance.Each man who thinks ahead of his time is sure to be misunderstood.
