Sri Ramakrishna Vidyarthi Mandiram

Seeking to give an expression to Swami Vivekananda's ideal of 'Man-making' education, the Ramakrishna Vidyarthi Mandiram was started in 1943. It is a modern student's home in the setting of an ancient Brahmacharya Āshrama. The aim of the Mandiram is to supplement the academic education of the university, by imparting a training conducive to an all-round growth of the students. The objective is to provide a suitable Home for deserving boys outside Bangalore and desiring to profit by the care and guidance of the Mandiram.

The distinguishing features of the Mandiram are:
- An entirely non-communal and non-political outlook and atmosphere
- Facilities provided for building up the character and spiritual life of its inmates under the guidance of a Swami of the Ramakrishna Order
- Special stress on physical culture and game
- Encouragement and opportunities for the development of individual talents, and 
- Monetary help to poor but deserving students.
