School of Languages & Computer Education
With the development of electronic communication system, business industries and professional areas, career-building education and almost all fields in the society have taken a global shape. To face these challenges it is obvious that our youths need to equip themselves with modern education.
In view to give our youths an edge over others in their education and to equip them for the global competition, Ramakrishna Mission Swami Vivekananda's Ancestral House & Cultural Centre started Spoken English and Computer Courses under the aegis of the School of Languages and Computer Education in 2005. Since then it has a record of consistently excellent academic results.
The humble beginning started with 300 students. Dedication of the faculty members, the ambiance and very personalized care saw the number of the students grow gradually. At present with the total roll strength of 3000, this institution continues its journey as a pioneer institution of Foreign Languages and Computer Education in north Kolkata.
With the popular acceptance of the courses, different levels of the Communicative English and Computer Courses including foreign languages like German and French and some other Indian languages like Sanskrit, Hindi and few professional standard courses had been introduced to meet the growing demands of the students as well as the professionals and job seekers.
The Institution takes additional care for the students by arranging Workshop and Value Education classes along with their regular academics to develop their confidence, personality and build up good characters that help them to achieve their goals and make them worthy citizens for tomorrow.
In order to provide flexibility to the students in choosing the right courses, class days and time slots, the School runs from 8 am to 8 pm from Monday to Sunday (except on the holidays).

SANSKRIT
Swami Vivekananda says “Its (India’s) religion, its philosophy, its history, its ethics, its politics were all inlaid in a flower-bed of poetic imagery — the miracle of language which was called Sanskrit or "perfected", lending itself to expressing and manipulating them better than any other tongue”
“Even more it (India) has done in mathematics, for algebra, geometry, astronomy, and the triumph of modern science — mixed mathematics — were all invented in India, just so much as the ten numerals, the very cornerstone of all present civilization, were discovered in India, and are in reality, Sanskrit words”
Such statements coming out from a personage like Swami Vivekananda, stress the importance of Sanskrit learning, as a guiding-light to wisdom Indian, secular or spiritual.
“I am proud to tell you that I belong to a religion in whose sacred language, the Sanskrit, the word exclusion is untranslatable” says Swamiji while speaking of the all-inclusive nature of Sanskrit. This means that study of this language helps national integration.
Since, self-awareness boosts everything auspicious in us, Swamiji says, “Sanskrit and prestige go together in India”. Once Swami Vivekananda said that study of Vedas end superstitions. Superstitions are a greatest hindrance to our development. So, if we wish to grow, we need to assimilate the spirit of Vedas, for studying which Sanskrit knowledge is inevitable.
The Sanskrit Language course we offer at our Institute, briefly introduces Sanskrit literature, grammar and philosophy to its students. Communication in Sanskrit also is stressed especially.
