Vivekananda Vidyavardhaka Sangha, Puttur, has been a pioneer in providing value-based education for decades. To strengthen this legacy, VVS proposes the “Viveka Path: Skill & Value Education for Future Generations” (Kaushalya Jyothi) initiative.
Many students—especially from rural and semi-urban regions—lack access to modern digital tools, communication training, and practical life skills. This initiative integrates skill development, digital literacy, and value education across all VVS institutions, from primary schools to higher education, promoting holistic and competency-based learning aligned with NEP 2020.
Project Objective
Bridge the gap between academic learning and employability skills.
Equip students with digital literacy, communication skills, and practical life skills.
Prepare youth to face real-world challenges with confidence.
Provide structured, skill-based, and value-oriented education across all levels.
