    Reason to Organise

    Swami Vivekananda was heartbroken when he visited several parts of India and saw the extreme poverty that the majority of the population endured. He was really impressed by the opportunity for everyone to receive an education and find good job in Europe and the United States. According to Swamiji, the only causes of India's low living standards are a lack of economic opportunity for the average person and a lack of access to education. Swami Vivekananda continued to encourage children to acquire useful life skills and explore paths of creativity after his return to India in 1897. The Ramakrishna Mission 125th Anniversary Student Innovation Competition pays a little tribute to Swami
    Vivekananda's brilliance in motivating the resuscitation and renewal of Indian society.

    Swamiji said, "What we need, you know, is to study, independent of foreign control, different branches of the knowledge that is our own, and with it the English language and Western science; we need technical education and all else that may develop industries so that men, instead of seeking for service, may earn enough to provide for themselves, and save something against a rainy day...Material civilization, nay, even luxury, is necessary to create work for the poor... Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs...Modern education has changed your fashion, but new avenues of wealth lie yet undiscovered for want of the inventive genius...A number of geniuses are sure to arise from among them (i.e. Indians) in course of time."
