The Northeast region is considered the crown of Bharat. A harmonious Social Order based o cultural values is still prevalent in living form in all the eight States of the Northeastern region. Preservation, protection and promotion of the indigenous culture of this region is of utmost importance. In the context of challenges of modernity and anti-national forces working in the region, Mananeeya Eknathji Ranade, founder of Vivekananda Kendra, and an astute visionary, was very particular that appropriate multi-dimensional activities should be undertaken here.
With this vision, Kendra is working in the region with the theme “Development through Culture”. Kendra has numerous active branch centers in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Nagaland and is slowly increasing its activities to the other Northeastern States.
