The Objective of the College, advancement of learning, strongly manifests the spirit of Education for Empowerment. Accordingly, Vivekananda College ever since its inception has empowered thousands of young people, particularly those displaced from the erstwhile East Pakistan and also those belonging to the backward communities of the area. The college, in fact, enjoys now the rare distinction of catering to the educational needs of a composite section of young learners belonging to both the urban middle class of the southern suburbs of Kolkata and the rural poor of South Bengal to holding high our inner motive force 'Tomoso ma jyotirgamoy' i.e 'from darkness, lead us to the light'.
