One of the key challenges that facing tribal students today is lack of committed and trained teachers willing to work in tribal areas. SVYM intends to overcome this gap by training tribal students and enabling them to get a formal qualification in teaching. This will not only help improve the quality of learning outcomes amongst the tribal children, but also provide much needed employment opportunity to the upcoming generation of tribals.

With this in mind, Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement has started the Vivekananda Teacher’s Training & Research Center (VTTRC) at Hosahalli tribal colony. This institute will now train tribal and rural youth in creative teaching and fill a critical gap in the school delivery system in the area.
