Port Blair, Jan 11: Since 1985, India celebrated National Youth day on January 12 every year to celebrate the birth anniversary of the social reformer philosopher and great thinker Swami Vivekananda. On this day we remember the philosophy and ideas of the Vivekananda, who brought a change in the thought process of the Youth. A mighty spiritual personality, Swami Vivekananda became popular in the western world after his famous speech at the World’s Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893.
Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma, Member of Parliament has extended his warm wishes to everyone on this special day which exclusively celebrates the power and potential of our youth. It is a day to remember the real youth icon. Swami Vivekananda who introduced the world to the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga.
The National Youth Day is a day for youth to contribute towards the Nation. The youth of any country is the strength of their motherland. Their participation in various social reforming services is always appreciable. Swami Vivekananda advised the youth to move forward. His words were “Arise Awake and stop not till the goal is reached”.
Great leaders and philosophers have expressed that the plight of the country can be changed only by making its youth become sensitive to the problems to the nation. Sincere, strong and vigorous youth, as Swami Vivekanada considered, are the backbones of the nation. He had unlimited faith in the Youth. The nation’s youth is most precious and latent resource. It is necessary to organize them and channelize their energies towards desirable goals for national development.
