One of the major problems confronting us today is that children seem to be growing up stressed and confused because they are not armed with the right tools to face real-life problems and make the right choices. To address this need and to awaken the infinite potential of each child, a unique three-year graded value education program conceived by Ramakrishna Mission- ‘The Awakened Citizen Program’ is implemented in the curriculum for learners of Classes IX to X. 

The program that consists of 16 modules is based on the message that each one of us, carries within, an infinite source of power, strength and goodness. This power and strength can be felt, every time we say “I CAN”. This infinite power gets manifested as various possibilities. The more we consciously develop or manifest these possibilities, the more faith we develop in ourselves. The Awakened Citizen Program is designed to help discover and manifest the infinite power within each one of us.

Through various explorations, situation analyses, discussions and real-life examples, the learners discover the tremendous impact of manifesting these possibilities and the means to do so. The emphasis is on opening the minds of the learners, giving them a framework for decision making, enabling the discovery and acceptance of values and bringing about an inner transformation.
