Meyyur Rural Unit
Meyyur Rural Unit
A unit of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai since 1986
During Swami Vivekananda’s 150th Birthday Celebration, Meyyur Village, 50 km from Chennai, was adopted by Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai.
Two small nearby hamlets – Gurupuram and Vembedu were also included to benefit by these services.
These people in the hamlets are away from the mainstream of the society and are very poor with limited job opportunities and mostly illiterate.
To realize the dream of Swami Vivekananda to uplift the people in the villages, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai has been undertaking rural medical service for the past 32 years.
As a part of this service, a team of doctors and volunteers visit remote villages to provide essential medical care three days in a week.

I'm proud to say that I'm also a volunteer in Meyyur Ramakrishna Math. A few years back our village was very low level in facilities, medical, & education also. Ramakrishna Math first came to teaching students, they use to conduct tuitions. Later medical services, tailoring jobs for women, and it became a big building and it stands as "Sri Sarada Devi Grama Mangalam Meyyur"

Only Ramakrishna Math is capable of doing a great service in such a remote village. Rural Children being given tuition, Ladies getting tailoring business and all the residents getting medical care...who else than Sri Ramakrishna is behind all such works through the RK math. Great job by Ramakrishna Math, Chennai!
