Congress supremo Mallikarjun Kharge led the nation in celebrating National Youth Day by honoring Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. His message emphasized the monk’s role in igniting patriotic fervor among the youth, a theme central to India’s progress.
Vivekananda, revered as the ‘Cyclonic Hindu,’ championed education and self-confidence. Kharge’s greetings spotlighted how his teachings align with India’s aspirations for self-reliance under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat.’ The Congress president called upon youth to rise against adversities with Vivekananda’s vigor.
Posted amid nationwide festivities, Kharge’s note invoked the saint’s words: ‘All power is within you; you can do anything and everything.’ He connected this to empowering rural and marginalized youth through targeted schemes, critiquing current policy gaps subtly.
Historical flashbacks reveal Vivekananda’s travels across India, awakening a sleeping giant. His establishment of Ramakrishna Mission continues selfless service. Kharge encouraged volunteering and social work as true tributes to the guru.
Youth Day events feature marathons, debates, and tech expos nationwide. In Delhi, Congress workers distributed literature on Vivekananda’s life. Kharge’s outreach aims to reconnect youth with the party’s inclusive ideology rooted in such icons.
As the day unfolds, Kharge’s vision paints a picture of India led by enlightened youth. Vivekananda’s legacy isn’t just historical—it’s a living force propelling the nation forward, blending tradition with tomorrow’s innovations.
