Visiting Nanritam in this remote corner of Bengal was a most heartening experience.
It's outstanding hospital services and facilities, and the school, Filix School of
Education, have to beseen to be believed. These facilities are run with dedication,
21st-century efficiency, and compassion. You can sense these in the faces of the school
children. This creates optimism, not just for the children of the school and the
patients of the hospital, but for India. Other institutions all over can learn from what
can only be called "The Nanritam Model"

Jai Ma I was deeply impressed at the intensity of the dedicated service offered by
everyone of Nanritam. The great life and the inspiration of Swami Lokeswaranandaji is
the guiding force behind every activities of this institution. It seems to me that Sri
Ramakrishna and Holy Mother is holding the hands of all of you to fulfill their mission.
Let this inspiration ignite inspiration in the heart of other institution and people -
is my prayer. Happy to visit & stay are joyful day with all of you. My special thanks to

You have created something magical. The school compares with the best and most expensive
private and public school anywhere in the world. The model you have de veloped needs to
be taken to other parts of the state and the country. It is not just what you are doing
with the students; to have such a group of imaginative and motivated teachers as well
says a lot about your management and creative skills. I would love to spend some more
time here and to learn how to develop such a positive learning environment.

I am absolutely delighted to have had a chance to visit Nanritam. I am deeply impressed
with the dedication and sense of service of the doctors. Social workers and everyone
else involved with this organization. The agriculture work is very innovative and could
provide a new model for dry land farming. I look for want to coming back.

One has to visit the place to believe that such miracles are possible. A state of the
art eye hospital, a school for disadvantaged children, a green garden in the middle of a
rugged, unfriendly terrain. God would bless the souls who made all this possible. For
the more ordinary like me, it is to stare and admire.
Abhirup Sarkar
Professor of Economics, Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta
It was a great joy and privilege to see the wonderful, selfless work of Nanritam. I pray
to Thankur, Ma and Swamiji that the work will grow & flourish day by day. May the
inspiring life of Swami Lokeswaranandaji continue to inspire all of us.
