Mr. C. G. Chandra
Vivekananda Mission School is affiliated to the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations, New Delhi. The School prepares students for ICSE and ISC examinations at 10+2 level.Founded in the year 1978 by Mr. C.G.Chandra, an educationist and social worker, the school set out its journey with the sole objective of imparting “Man-making and Character building” education to the children who enroll themselves with the school.
"Man-making and character-building education" — the founding motto of Mr. C. G. Chandra
With the passage of time and the advent of changing situations all over the world it has been felt that producing academically brilliant students is merely not enough to uphold and realize the tenets of man making education as Swamiji had envisioned. It requires also a lot of commitment and understanding of social situations by the children to build up their emotional and mental well- being. This has called for a paradigm shift which focuses on developing social skills of the children through different Community Action Programmes.
The School imparts education without any distinction of caste, creed and belief. The secular credentials of the school have endeared it to all and sundry who have high regards for its discipline, scientific teaching methods and moral values. One of the most important features of its learning paradigm is its community based education models which help the children to understand and recognize the issues afflicting multicultural communities in our society. One of the distinctive features of the school is ‘The Emotionally Intelligent Parenting’ which was introduced by our Founder Sir. Such sessions are held regularly at school for the parents.
VMS is acknowledged as a school with a difference because of its approach and applications. It is a pioneering school in Eastern India to introduce the concept of Quality in Education. At present every section of each class from IV to IX has its own Quality Circle to benchmark their standard and goal. The QCs have taken part in National and International competitions and have won accolades time and again. The excellent academic results of VMS students in Board examinations have carved a niche for the school in the field of school education. Our Founder Sir was the first educationist to introduce Quality Concept in the field of education.
With the accelerated pace of wide ranging education reforms, VMS is ready to embrace the challenges of the new world order. The school started to add an international dimension to its curriculum through various projects and partnerships since 2005. We have been successfully accredited with the ISA for three consecutive terms 2006 – 2009, 2010 – 2013 and 2014 – 2017. We have also received the Reciprocal Visit Grant in 2007 and worked with Sydenham Primary School, Leamington Spa, till 2011 on various projects. Both the fund and the award were given by BRITISH COUNCIL.
Teachers from countries across the world have visited and interacted with our teachers and teachers from VMS have also visited schools in England. It has been an interesting journey that has involved out of the box thinking, global outlook, internationalization, resourcefulness, creativity and a desire to change the teaching and learning process from being a chore to becoming an exciting journey of discovery and exploration.

Welcome to Vivekananda Mission Group of Schools, operating under the aegis of Vivekananda Education Society. Our journey began in a two story building with very limited resources way back in 1978 with a vision of nurturing the perfection inherent in every young learner, in accordance with the principles of Swami Vivekananda. Since their inception, the schools have grown in strength over the years and are currently ranked amongst the best in the state. Our academic success is a testimonial to that. We have produced national toppers in board exams and carved a niche for ourselves in the academic area of the state. The salient feature of the schools that sets them apart from others is the personal touch in grooming of the young minds. An eye for the all round development of the child and quality service are the add ons.
The strong foundation of the schools is on the ideals and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda. Education in Swamiji’s words, is ‘the manifestation of perfection that is already in a man’. According to him, education is a continuous process. It should cover all aspects of life – material, physical, emotional, moral and spiritual.
In today’s world, where change is happening at such a rapid pace, it is perhaps time for all of us to pause and reflect on the current education system and understand the relevance of Swamiji’s thoughts on education. Here in VMS, we aspire to provide that ‘man making’ education to our students so they are able to stand on their own feet to meet the challenges of the ever changing world and become sensitive and responsible citizens.
Caring and catering for each individual child is the hallmark of VMS, because we understand that each child is unique. Our team of highly dedicated teachers and support staff along with a very committed and supportive management work hand in hand to make sure that a child attains his/her optimum potential.
As mentioned, academic laurels, success in board examinations have been the feature of our schools. But at the same time we make conscious efforts to combine our academic achievements with the right mix of co-curricular activities along with life skill education.
We are committed to keep building on our years and years of hard work and take our institutions to new heights of excellence.
