CHENNAI, INDIA, February 17, 2014: We at HPI always read with interest the monthly Vedanta Kesari magazine from the RK Mission in Chennai. The February issue carried an impressive report of their activities for 2012-13, a report which reminds us the RK Mission is one of the largest Hindu institutions in the world. In just 2012-2013, they provided relief to half a million; welfare to 3.6 million old, sick and destitute people; medical services to 8 million through 15 hospitals, 125 dispensaries, 60 mobile medical units and 953 medical camps; spent US$40 million on education for 329,000 students; and financed development projects benefitting 4.3 million rural and tribal people.
