Serving to Educate: Harihar Schools

In the remote, backward Mukkavaripalli, Andhra Pradesh on 23 March 23 1986, Swamini Saradapriyananda inaugurated the first Harihar School. “In order to serve the poorest of the poor in the villages, we have now started, under the Mission, the first of a series of’ Harihar Schools. The Hari Har Vocational Schools conceive as their major purpose, the obligation to offer the villagers academic and vocational education and to train them for self-employment.” So wrote Gurudev in the April 1986 issue of Tapovan Prasad.
