Vivekananda College will celebrate its 95th anniversary on March 24.
It was the first Hindu school that was set up in Colombo with the purpose of uplifting education in the island. Thanks to the efforts of Swami Vipulanandar and Swami Sachithanandan on March 24, 1926, it drew its principal inspiration from the historic visit to the island by that great spiritual leader of India, Swami Vivekananda in 1897. The first Principal of the school was K. Arunachalam and the first manager of the school was Arunachalam Mahadeva.
