Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa considered that Indian culture and civilization and the Hindu religion was the best spiritual, culture and eternal religion of world. His worthy follower Swami Vivekananda founded this mission on May 5, 1897, after the demise of Swami Ramakrishna Paramhansa. Besides India, branches of Ramakrishna Mission were started in other countries such as America, Fiji, Mauritius, etc.
Ramakrishna Mission provides help to the sufferers of drought, floods, earthquakes and epidemics. The mission also provides education and medical facilities to the poor. Swami Vivekananda tried hard to remove conservatism, superstitions, poverty, illiteracy and untouchability, through Ramakrishna Mission. He also promoted the concept of public welfare.
