Besides, many of our centres served rural folks by spreading spiritual and cultural ideas among them through mobile units such as Jnana Vahini. Educative and religious film shows, lectures, exhibitions, guided meditation, personality development classes and sale of our literature were organized in many interior parts of the country. Many centres run institutions like VIVEC (Vivekananda Institute of Value Education and Culture) or Human Excellence centres to impart values education to people in general. Several centres provide values education as well as guidance for self-reliance to the inmates of different prisons.
