'''Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya''' or '''VKV''' is the academic wing of [[Vivekananda Kendra]] (an organization based on [[Swami Vivekananda]]'s preachings of life–reforming principles), operating a chain of schools under the project [http://www.vkspv.org ''Vivekananda Kendra Siksha Prasar Vibhag (VKSPV)'']. ''Vidyalaya'' is a [[sanskrit]] word meaning ''school''. The corporate [[headquarters]] of the organization is at [[Kanyakumari]], [[Tamil Nadu]] in [[southern India]]. The [[ideology]] of ''Gyan – Yagna'', meaning ''Knowledge Worship'', started by [[Eknath Ranade|Ekanathji Ranade]] led to the inception of VKV. The school teachings are inspired by the Vivekananda's philosophy of ''Man – Making & Nation Building.''

==Schools==
There are a total of 64 VKVs providing education to approximately 20,000 students in the [[Indian states]] of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[Assam]], [[Karnataka]], [[Nagaland]] and [[Tamil Nadu]], besides the [[Andaman Islands]]. The schools are guided by their corporate values inspired by the general philosophies of Swami Vivekananda, such as ''Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man'', ''If the poor boy can't come to education, education must go to him'' etc. The first VKV was started at Sher in Arunachal Pradesh. Most of these schools are fully residential and focus on the holistic growth of their students.
