ABOUT US
| HOW IT ALL BEGAN
|
The year was 1984. A group of young medical students led by Dr.R.Balasubramaniam at the Mysore Medical College (in Karnataka State , India ) were starting to feel that the career in medicine they dreamt of pursuing was very different from the practice of medicine around them. They believed they had in them to make a difference and make a positive impact on the lives of the poor & the marginalized. And so, they started the Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM, for short), with initial assets of high ideals and all the positive benefits of inexperience. |
