In 1987, a group of young individuals inspired by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda, formed the Vivekananda Youth Forum under the guidance of Swami Someshwarananda, a young monk from the Ramakrishna Mission. Their guiding philosophy was, Live for your own liberation and for the good of others (‘आत्मनॊ मोक्षार्थम् जगद्धिताय च’). As the name suggests, their goal was to involve the youth in bringing about social change. They started by offering non-formal evening classes to children living in their neighbouring slums.
