==Work undertaken==
The primary work undertaken by all Sevashramas is in the area of providing basic and advanced healthcare facilities to poor and needy at affordable costs, through the hospitals under their wings. All sevashramas work as their key principle service to the mankind irrespective of religion, caste and creed, in line with the philosophy of [[Vedanta]] of looking upon every human being as the manifestation of the divine as propounded by [[Sri Ramakrishna]] and Swami Vivekananda.<ref>[http://www.rkmhos.in/health-education-project.php?p=Ramakrishna+Mission Activities of Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama]</ref> In addition some Sevashramas also offer educational, humanitarian (like relief and rehabilitation) and spiritual services.
