Sarisha, a village in the Diamond Harbour region south of Kolkata, has long been associated with the Ramakrishna Mission's educational and rural development work in southern Bengal. The Mission's centre at Sarisha hosts a cluster of educational and social-service activities, of which the Siksha Mandir forms a part. The institution operates within the broader framework of the Mission's emphasis on character-building education combined with spiritual values, drawing upon the ideals articulated by Swami Vivekananda.
Education has been one of the principal areas of activity for the Ramakrishna Mission since its inception. Across India, the Mission administers schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes, vocational centres and residential institutions, particularly in rural and semi-rural areas. Institutions named Siksha Mandir within the Mission's network typically function as teaching or training establishments, several of which serve as teacher-training colleges affiliated with state authorities.
As part of the Ramakrishna Mission's network, the Sarisha branch contributes to the educational infrastructure of South 24 Parganas, a district that includes large rural and coastal populations. The Mission's presence at Sarisha has historically supported access to schooling and allied services for students from surrounding villages.
