Projects - An overviewThe campus is the hub for many a project initiated by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Ranging from research to rural development, education to humanitarian relief activities - the campus has seen it all. The projects are all run by volunteers from all over the world who contribute their time and effort, inspired by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. ResearchVed Vignan - as the name suggests - explores the linkages between ancient knowledge and modern science. The department of research encompasses three wings - Vedic research, Medical research and Social research. Resident vedic scholars interact with scientists to create linkages between traditional vedic knowledge and modern science. The efficacy of sudarshan kriya and its effects on the mind and body is studied under the Medical research, while the effects of such techniques on societies as a whole is studied by the social research department. The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research of the Government of India has recognized the Trust for its research activities in this field. For more information, click here ... EducationSchoolEducation is one of the most important means for marginalized populations to improve personal skills, develop capabilities, overcome constraints and in the process enlarge the available set of opportunities for sustained improvement in well-being. Thus education represents a critical means of empowerment, of bringing about the social, economic and political inclusion of the sidelined population into mainstream society. VVM aims at providing informal education to the village population in general and the provision of formal education to the tribal population. It is committed to making quality education accessible to the poor and also providing a joyful and inspiring learning environment to the children from rural areas and urban. Within the education program, we have set up a range of schools, which offer value based education, which make learning a joyful experience and provide children with practical life skills.

Rural DevelopmentVVM started its development work in 1982 and initially focused on the provision of primary education to poor children and vocational training to rural women in India. In 1997, the trust expanded its activities to encompass rural communities for addressing the needs of the poor and disadvantaged in a holistic manner. Today, the organization’s work in rural areas ranges from comprehensive rural development, education, tribal welfare, to organic farming and vocational training. For more information, click here ... Women EmpowermentEmpowering women has been a primary focus area for the trust since it's inception. We recognise that tackling women's issues can address the roots of society and bring about sustainable and lasting transformation in society. Vocational training programs - typing and tailoring - have formed the bulwark of the trust's interventions in this area. In addition the school provides a platform for many of the educated village women to teach and pass on their experiences to the next generation. In fact, one of the school teachers is a product of the very school in which she teaches.

Ultimately, the long term goal is far-reaching social transformation, where poverty, misery and disease are eradicated, and where peace and harmony prevail throughout the world.
