Sri Ramakrishna Mission, Shivanahalli, witnessed a memorable occasion on 8th October 2026 with the inauguration of Sri Sharada Sadana (Dining Hall) and Brahmananda Pushkarini (Water Pond – Natural Water Resource Management).

The dining hall has been established with the noble objective of providing students not only with education (Akshara Dasoha) but also nutritious meals (Anna Dasoha), ensuring their overall well-being. Brahmananda Pushkarini was developed as part of the institution's efforts to promote natural water resource management and enhance the surrounding area.

The projects were supported by Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited (BRBNMPL) under its CSR initiative. The inauguration was graced by Sri Sundar Murthi, Managing Director, BRBNMPL, Sri Sivakumar Pavani, CGM, BRBNMPL, and Srimat Swami Nityasthanandaji Maharaj, Adhyaksha, Ramakrishna Math, Basavanagudi, Bengaluru, as the Chief Guest.

Senior Swami Vishnumayananda Ji Maharaj expressed his appreciation for the valuable support extended by RBI towards the school's development and described the dining hall as a blessing for the institution.

Adding an educational dimension to the occasion, our students Yashaswini and Amit presented the important functions and achievements of the Reserve Bank of India to their fellow students, creating awareness about the institution's role in the nation.

The event was a wonderful celebration of service, education and community development, reflecting the spirit of Ramakrishna Mission and its commitment to nurturing young minds while serving society.

Students of Sri Sarada Devi Vidya Kendra (SSVK), Amit Kumar and Hruthik, brought laurels to the school by securing the First Runner-Up position at the SAP Champions Award Finals, organised by EFIL and EQUBE on 30 October 2026 at Meenakshi Rangamancha, Doddakallasandra.

The journey began at the intra-school SAP competition, where Amit Kumar and Hruthik secured the First Prize, while Raksha and Dhruthi won the Second Prize. Based on their performance, the winning team, Amit Kumar and Hruthik, was selected to represent the school at the next level of the competition.

The finals witnessed enthusiastic participation from students representing several prestigious institutions, including Kumarans and Samhita Academy. With strong ideas, thoughtful presentations and impactful projects, the competition was truly challenging.

Amit Kumar and Hruthik presented their Social Action Project, which focused on providing educational support to underprivileged children and students with learning challenges. Going beyond merely identifying a social concern, they took meaningful steps towards addressing it by involving teachers and fellow students from their own school as volunteers. Their initiative reflected empathy, social responsibility and a genuine commitment to making education more inclusive and accessible.

Their presentation was highly appreciated by the jury members and fellow participants. Securing the First Runner-Up position at this competitive platform is a testament to their hard work, dedication and the impact of their initiative.

Social Action Projects go far beyond classroom learning. They provide students with opportunities to understand real-world challenges, take initiative, collaborate with others and develop practical solutions. Such experiences nurture essential qualities of future citizens and entrepreneurs, including leadership, empathy, critical thinking, innovation and a sense of responsibility towards society.

We are immensely proud of Amit Kumar and Hruthik for their remarkable achievement and grateful to Raksha, Dhruthi, all the students, teachers and volunteers who contributed to this initiative.

Congratulations to our young changemakers! May you continue to learn, lead and create ripples of positive change in society.
