'''Vivekananda Institute of Medical Sciences''' ('''VIMS''') is a medical institution and hospital on [[Sarat Bose Road]], [[Kolkata]], which functions under the [[Ramakrishna Math]] and [[Ramakrishna Mission]]. It started in July 1932 as ''Shishumangal Pratishthan'', a maternity and child welfare clinic by Swami Dayanand, a disciple of [[Sarada Devi]]. <ref>{{cite web | title = Ramakrishna Mission Shishumangal Pratishthan|publisher=Doctor NDTV | url =http://doctor.ndtv.com/institutedetail/ndtv/iid/00179/Ramakrishna_Mission_Shishumangal_Pratishthan.html| accessdate = 2014-02-13}}</ref><ref name=belur/><br />
