At Vivekabharathi, we believe a brighter, kinder tomorrow begins with the choices we make today. Founded in 2023 in the vibrant heart of Puducherry by Mr. Ramesh Jagannathan, M.Phil, and his cousin, Dr. Lakshmi Narasimhan, Doctorate in Healthcare Administration, Vivekabharathi is more than an NGO—it is a movement driven by compassion, purpose, and the dream of a better tomorrow for all.
Our Spark, Our Story

Brought together by a shared vision and deep-rooted values, our founders saw the urgent need for holistic development—one that shapes not only minds and morals, but also nurtures health, dignity, and heritage. Because of their passion and expertise, Vivekabharathi stands today as a symbol of hope, change, and unwavering commitment to social good.

Empowering Individuals, Inspiring Societies

Our core mission is to help people become the very best versions of themselves. Through moral education, we inspire young hearts to lead lives of integrity, empathy, and respect. These timeless values are the seeds from which stronger, more resilient communities grow.

Strengthening Women, Strengthening Communities

We believe every woman is a pillar of strength. Our women’s empowerment programs give women the confidence and resources to shatter boundaries—through skill-building, opportunities for leadership, and a supportive network that uplifts every voice.

Cultural Heritage: Embracing Our Roots

Our heritage is our identity. By championing the restoration of architectural marvels and preserving Puducherry’s vibrant traditions, we help safeguard our community’s soul for generations to come. We celebrate artisans, revive ancient skills, and pass on the wisdom of our ancestors.

Caring for Today, Sustaining Tomorrow

Our work in conservation ensures that beauty and wisdom endure—from ancient structures to the environment around us. Every restored monument, every cultural workshop, is a promise to protect what makes us unique.

Healthcare with Heart: Affordable Healthcare for All

At Vivekabharathi, we know that good health is the foundation for realizing individual and collective potential. Inspired by Dr. Lakshmi Narasimhan’s expertise, we run initiatives to ensure affordable healthcare for all. From health awareness camps and medical outreach to partnerships with clinics and hospitals, we strive so no one is left behind due to financial barriers. Because dignity, well-being, and care are rights—not privileges.

Weaving a Tapestry of Change

We walk hand in hand with every individual we serve—lighting candles of hope, one story at a time. We are educators, healers, restorers, and dreamers. But most of all, we are a family, united by the courage to act and the compassion to care.

Join Our Mission—Be the Change

We invite you to walk with us. Help nurture values, strengthen women, protect heritage, and bring healthcare within everyone’s reach. Together, let’s create a society where every person has the chance to flourish—in spirit, in strength, in health.
