Akhandananda Shiksha and Sanskar Kendra(ASSK)

The message of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda inspired Swami Akhandananda (direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna) to begin rural development work much before the Ramakrishna Mission came into existence. Swami Akhandananda as a wondering monk while in Khetri (Rajasthan) during 1894, he went from door to door all along to bring awareness in the people about the utility of the education and it was because of his efforts that the number of student in the Khetri Rajya, English School rose from 80 to 200. Under his inspiration, the Maharaja of Khetri arranged for the education of the Golas (illiterate slaves) and also set up a permanent education department to open schools in the villages.
