SMK Vivekananda, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur (8 July, 2016)


Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Vivekananda (GPS: 3.1296, 101.68618) is a secondary school in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. It is located on Jalan Rozario, and is also bordered by Jalan Vivekananda and Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad. The name Vivekananda is derived from Tamil, where "vive" is said to mean knowledge, and "kananda" means happiness. However, the school may also have been established by the Vivekananda Ashram next door, which was established as a religious hermitage reverring the teachings of Swami Vivekananda.

Established in 1958, SMK Vivekananda is the oldest school in Brickfields and was originally known as the Vivekananda Tamil Secondary School. The opening was officiated by then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman. The school is attended by students from the Malay and Indian communities of Brickfields.
