Hari Seva

The Chinmaya Education Cell and CORD

The Chinmaya Hari Seva Program began as an outcome of the seva sangam conducted by the Chinmaya Education Cell in 2010. The Seva Sangam was conducted for all the members of all the Vidyalayas to imbibe the quality of Seva in their lives.127 teachers and staff attended the 5 day seminar held at CIRS under the guidance of Swamini Vimalananda.

Following the seminar on service mindedness the Hari seva camps are regularly organised by the Edu Cell.

Hari Seva Camps

Every year, starting from 2013 a five day residential camp has been organised at Chinmaya Gardens for the students of the different Vidyalayas and Vision schools. The program is effectively curated with the CORD Coimbatore. The children begin the day with a spiritual session by an acharya or Brahmachari of the mission. They then break into multiple groups to work in different areas.

Some of the areas they work in are as follows

In the villages adopted by CORD:

Toilet Making

Compost Pit

Tree Painting

Azolla Pit

In the Chinmaya Gardens Campus:

Notebook Making

Paper Bag Making

Pillow Making

Paper Cover Making

Till date 10 such camps have been conducted to enable children to develop the seva bhava. In the year 2024 due to overwhelming response two camps were held back to back in Chinmaya Gardens. In total 50 Schools have participated in these camps, of which 4 were Vision Schools, and 1181 children have benefited from the same.

In the year 2019 a camp was also conducted exclusively for the children of Jharkhand and neighbouring regions. This camp was in collaboration with CORD Lathikata and the children, besides their activities could also go into the tribal villages nearby and interact with the children there.
