‘Niramay’ (Charitable Dispensary)

Medical Service UNIT (NIRAMAY): Swami Vivekananda, the idol of the Youths has time and again reminded, “Build up your health. Do not dwell in silence upon your sorrows. Consciously or unconsciously, health can be transmitted. A very strong man, living with a weak man, will make him a little stronger, whether he knows it or not. The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand…”  With the aim of empowering people to have good health, established in 1996 at Viveknagar Centre, ‘Niramay’ Medical Service Unit is dedicated to improving public health and empowering individuals through accessible and affordable healthcare. The unit, aligned with Swami Vivekananda’s ideals of strength through good health, provides comprehensive medical services to the local community, including students, staff, and families.
