Swami Vivekananda
Medical Mission
Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission is a registered Charitable trust working with a not for profit motive. The trust aims to serve the backward sections of the population in Kerala state, India. Overall development of the people of Attappady, especially the scheduled tribes, with freedom from illness, poverty and malnourishment has been the focus of the mission ever since its establishment. The activities of the mission have hence ranged from medical relief to education, women’s empowerment and eradication of social evils like alcoholism.
Our Vision
Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission is inspired by the rousing call of Swami Vivekananda to serve every man as God himself—‘Nara’ as’ Narayana’. We are driven by his vision of India rising from the villages and forests, from the most remote and most backward sections of our great motherland. We therefore strive, in every step, to serve each person as God, to remove agony, reduce suffering and provide comfort.
Our Mission
To liberate people from the clutches of ill health and poverty and lead them to better lives through education, empowerment and social regeneration
Aims and Objectives
-
To provide high-quality and free-of-cost health care services to the poor.To conduct studies and research on various health problems persisting among the tribes of Attappady and come up with solutions to these problems.To start institutions and service centres for the upliftment of the orphans and destitute children, old aged persons, socially backward women, deaf, dumb, blind and persons having mental disabilities.To impart quality education with cultural values to the students from underprivileged families and impart skills for tribal youth and women that would aid them in getting gainful self or wage employment, hence making them economically independent.To create self-sustaining institutions that would make the tribal people of Attappady economically and socially self-reliant.

Our History
We are a not-for-profit organisation working towards providing quality health services to the poor and towards the eradication of poverty and suffering. We chose our karmabhoomi (land of action) to be Attappady, a tribal block in Palakkad district.
Attappady was always known as a land of poverty, malnourishment and related health problems. The region was always in the news for calamities and other issues like infant and neo-natal deaths, land alienation, exploitation etc.
