Personality Development
Personality Development is the harmonious development of the Physical, Mental, Moral and Spiritual faculties of a person. The chief aim of this program is to instill faith in oneself and impart nobler values of life and to raise individuals to higher levels of moral and ethical life. There is an urgent need of such programs when there is continuous erosion of moral and spiritual values in every sphere of life. We feel that the younger generation needs life-giving ideas and ideals to help them overcome the problems of life and become enlightened citizens of our country.
The inspiring and practical message of Swami Vivekananda should reach the younger generation who are in search of light amidst the encircling gloom. Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama has planned to organize Workshops on 'Personality Development & Human xcellenc' in as many schools and Colleges as possible in Chennai City.
