The construction work has started to some extent and the project is stipulated to be completed by 2023. The great historian and Nobel Laureate Sir Arnold Toynbee had said: “The modern world had an western beginning but if it is to survive it must have and eastern end, with special emphasis on Ramakrishna Vivekananda ideology”. In fact the outstanding definition of Education that Swami Vivekananda offered to the world is the Watchword of our Educational Institutions and this Primary School is no exception to that.

The School started with Classes I & II with 40 students, boys and girls, in each class under the governance of a monastic Principal. Essentially the School is following a CBSE pattern so as to be enabled to be affiliated to the CBSE Board in due course of time.

As most of the guardians reside at Seppa, 25 km away from Lumdung, Ramakrishna Mission provides some transport service between the aforesaid two places in a limited way. Apart from only academic pursuit the School targets to build up the students through physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual development by dint of its syllabi and the dedicated effort of the teaching and non-teaching staffs. For this, Cultural Competitions, Sports, Social Services, Fine Arts and Crafts as well as Music have been introduced from the very early stage of the students.
