Chinmaya Vision Programme (CVP)
The Chinmaya Vision Programme is what makes Chinmaya Educational Institution’s schools different from other schools. Chinmaya Vision Programme is a comprehensive educational program that was made and developed by Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji. The program aims to provide the children with a true vision of life to help them face the challenges in life more positively and dynamically and then, in turn, contribute to the betterment of our society.
