The following is the list of institutions started by/affiliated to Ramakrishna Mission.[1][2][3]
As of 1 April 2024, the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission have 279 branch centres all over the world. Of these, 211 centres are in India and the remaining 68 are in 24 other countries (27 in Bangladesh, 14 in the USA, 3 in Brazil, 2 each in Canada, Russia and South Africa, and one each in Argentina, Australia, Fiji, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, UK and Zambia). Further, there are 56 sub-centres (24 within India and 32 outside India) functioning under the above branch centres.[4] The Math and Mission run 748 educational institutions (including 12 colleges, 22 higher secondary schools, 41 secondary schools, 135 schools of other grades, 4 polytechnics, 48 vocational training centres, 118 hostels, 7 orphanages, etc.) with a total student population of more than 2,00,000. Besides these branch centres, there are about one thousand unaffiliated centres (popularly called 'private centres') all over the world started by the devotees and followers of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda.
The centres of the Ramakrishna Order outside India fall into two broad categories. In countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Fiji and Mauritius, the nature of service activities is very much similar to India (which is humanitarianism and spirituality). In other parts of the world, especially in Europe, Canada, United States, Japan, and Australia, the work is mostly confined to the preaching of Vedanta, the publication of books and journals and personal guidance in spiritual matters.[5] Many of the centres outside India are called as the 'Vedanta Society' or 'Vedanta Centre'.
