Abstract: Swami Vivekananda, who was the highest crest of the Indian Renaissance of 19 ^th century, was a great nationalist thinker apart from a universally recognized Vedantist philosopher. Over a century back, Swami Vivekananda warned that the English model of education was not only a defective system from personal perspective; it was also a vicious system detrimental to the growth of India as a nation. He provided his original concept of education which is Vedantic in its spirit and nationalist in its mission. This paper is a humble attempt to expose swami Vivekananda concept of education.

Keywords: Nation building, democratization, massification, manifestation of will.
