Ramakrishna Mission Swami Vivekananda's Ancestral House and Cultural Centre has launched a fundraising drive to raise ₹10 crore — an amount which will help the centre to acquire new properties in the surrounding areas. The centre — on Vivekananda Road — wants to purchase the properties to expand its activities in the field of health and education. ADVERTISEMENT"We urgently require additional space around Swamiji's ancestral house, and acquiring adjacent premises requires a substantial amount of funds. We are humbly appealing to all... to help us...," said Swami Jnanolokananda, the secretary of the centre. Of the ₹10 crore, ₹5 crore will be required to buy four houses.
