KHANPUR . . .
Khanpur is the oldest and the largest centre in the history of the Vivekananda Swasthya Seva Sangha. As a matter of fact, Khanpur is a complex of multi-village infrastructures which are also individually registered with a central committee comprising of representatives of various units at Khanpur in the District of Hooghly (West Bengal). And that is why Khanpur is a direct Branch Centre of the Sangha since the last 20 years. This branch has got its own land, houses and a full-functioning Branch Committee. The Branch Committee of Khanpur ensures close monitoring of all these peripheral units and has got direct link with the Headquarters by our Permanent Representative. The idea of formation of branch centres is decentralization of power so also to monitor the village centres directly from Khanpur itself. Khanpur Centre is now full-blown which shows a clear picture of implementation of eight points of Primary Health Care programmes.
  
Early Childhood Education centre and adult Education centres are run at Khanpur. In near future asome Non-Formal Schools are being planned. The latest addition to the Khanpur Centre which is getting popularized gradually, is a Public Library. They are aiming at developing a separate complex where a library building will be constructed. A community-cum-prayer hall has been constructed.
In the campus a statue of Swami Vivekananda has been installed in an appropriate place as a permanent source and mark of inspiration amongst the youths of this locality in relation
to the activities of the Sangha.
A computer training centre has been started with the aim of exposing the youth of the area to modern day information technology. Besides, a Community Polytechnic imparts vocational training to youth of the area with the aim of making them self-reliant economically.
