Sri Ramakrishna Seva Samithi aims to empower and uplift children of economically disadvantaged section of the society. They provide them with healthy nutritional food in the evening. Periodically, they also provide clothing, note books, and other educational materials. They also conduct cultural competitions both at school and college levels. These events include recitation, story telling, quiz, essay writing, elocution, painting etc. In addition to that they also teach yoga, embroidery, music, moral stories, English, science and mathematics. In some instances they provide financial assistance like paying the examination fees of the children.
To empower children from poorer sections of society socially, culturally, economically and spiritually, so that they can stand on their own to face the harsh challenges of their life.
Sri Ramakrishna Seva Samithi, Bapatla was established in the year 1970 under the Societies Act. It was founded by late BSR Anjeneyalu and later on established by three highly devoted and dedicated brothers of a very educated family (Mr. Naresh, Suresh and Natrajan) with the inspiration of Swami Vivekananda. The samithi under their leadership has set itself apart from other charitable organizations in its approach of life-building, man –making and character-making assimilation of ideas. Their approach to the mission is very simplistic yet modern and practical. Unlike other organizations, they stress upon imbibing values and morals among the kids rather than associating with any religion. Some of the kids they serve belong to Muslim community as well. They have recognized street urchins and made them responsible denizens of the country.
