The Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira is a fully residential degree college for boys affiliated to the University of Calcutta, founded in 1941 by the Ramakrishna Mission. The name 'Vidyamandira' was given by Swami Vivekananda in 1898, who had envisioned such an institution modeled on the ancient Indian 'Gurukula' system. Swami Vimuktanandaji and Swami Tejasanandaji Maharajs were the first Secretary and the first principal, respectively, of this premier institute of higher learning.
The college has been re-accredited 'A++' grade by the NAAC, India in 2021. Visit the official website of the college (vidyamandira.ac.in) for more information.
