Live web-streaming of the entire programme on the internet through our website will be done on this day, the University Foundation Day (4 July 2020) to enable our faculty, students, admirers, devotees and all others interested to participate. They are all invited to join this programme online through the link provided in the University website: www.rkmvu.ac.in. Please watch out for the link one day before the function on our website. During this period lockdown, this is the least we could do to pay homage to Swami Vivekananda on the day of his mahasamadhi, Fourth of July, the very day on which he conceived and envisioned a University at Belur Math that will harmoniously blend the best elements of the East and the West: “ancient Indian wisdom with modern science” to quote his own words. All the stakeholders associated with the University (students, faculty members, administrators, parents, admirers, devotees) are all cordially invited.
