Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies

It was in the year 1997, that Dr S C Vats’, founder of Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS), met Swami Jitatmananda ji, an eminent educationist , management expert , author of books on “Modern Physics & Vedanta”, and “Indian ethos in Management”, an active social worker and the editor of “Prabudh Bharat” (Awakened India), a journal started by Swami Vivekakanda. As the destiny ordained under a silver oak tree at “adwait Ashram” in Mayawati in Pithoragarh District of Uttaranchal, invibrating thoughts were flowing from Swamiji’s lips in the balmy aroma of the dense pine and fir forest and he almost gave a diktat to Dr Vats that he need to set up an Institute for higher learning in the capital city of India in the name of Swami Vivekananda, a prophet and a path finder.
