The Cerebral Palsy Centre has been established with the vision of supporting children through Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy, Special Education & Early Intervention, and Holistic Care & Support.

The inauguration programme was attended by devotees, well-wishers, members of the Mission and people associated with healthcare and community service. The Mission expressed hope that the new centre would bring hope, healing and happiness to children with cerebral palsy and their families.
Earlier, on September 13, 2026, Ramakrishna Mission Jammu also inaugurated “SANSKRITI – Vivekananda Bal Sabha”, a new initiative aimed at providing a culturally oriented and value-based platform for young children.
The programme was inaugurated by Swami Suhitananda Ji Maharaj, Vice-President, Ramakrishna Math & Mission, Belur (W.B.), at Ramakrishna Mission Jammu.
The initiative is designed for children from Class 5 to Class 10 and will be conducted every Sunday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with reporting at 4:55 PM.
