KANYAKUMARI, INDIA, May 10, 2002: Vivekananda Kendra undertakes activities across India in the fields of education, rural development, socio-economic programs, personality development and management camps, yoga and publications. They have given high priority to Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland as these states in the northeast region are being culturally invaded by alien forces which destroy the very physical and emotional integration of the people and disconnect this area from the rest of the country. They have started a new project, Arun Jyoti, in Arunachal Pradesh state to developed effective contact among Arunachal tribals and to create an awareness that they belong to the great country of India and thereby develop in them a sense of pride in India’s tradition and culture. They are seeking donations to fund a US$61,000 project engaging 35 full-time Kendra workers for various service activities including medical camps; publishing literature on local festivals, traditions and culture; translating Ramakrishna-Vivekananda literature into the local languages; youth activities, libraries and tours of India.
