Vipassana Trust Sagar (M.P.)

Vipassana Trust Sagar (M.P.) organises 10-day courses in S. N. Goenka's tradition in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, at hired venues rather than at a centre of its own. The dhamma.org directory gives 2023 as the year of its first course. As of 2026 the trust's site names the current course venue as Khalifa Dalchand Memorial Physical College in Badtuma, Makronia, Sagar, and says the search for land for a permanent centre continues; the dhamma.org listing says the search for a site is almost over. The trust has also held courses for inmates of Sagar Central Jail. Courses are taught in Hindi and English. There is no charge for the course, food or accommodation; the trust accepts donations from old students to run courses and to buy land and build the centre. Sagar railway station (SGO) is on the West Central Railway, and travellers from elsewhere in India can change trains at Bhopal, Bina, Jabalpur, Katni or Rani Kamlapati. The nearest airports are at Bhopal, about 170 km away, and Jabalpur, about 160 km away, with trains, buses and taxis on to Sagar.

How to apply
