Marking Rashtriya Yuva Diwas, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge shared inspiring greetings, paying homage to Swami Vivekananda whose philosophy empowers India’s young demographic. The occasion transforms Vivekananda Jayanti into a platform for national rejuvenation.
Kharge detailed Vivekananda’s journey from a curious boy Narendra Nath Datta to a world-renowned orator. His Chicago speech dismantled stereotypes, fostering interfaith dialogue. Today, Kharge sees echoes in global forums where Indian youth shine.
‘Youth of India, awaken!’ echoed Kharge, adapting Vivekananda’s call. He addressed pressing concerns like climate action, AI ethics, and gender equality, urging proactive roles. Congress’s youth wing is mobilizing with leadership camps nationwide.
Vivekananda’s emphasis on women’s education and strength finds mention in Kharge’s note, aligning with party pushes for equity. Celebrations include yoga sessions, art contests, and innovation hubs, reflecting the monk’s practical spirituality.
In a politically charged year, Kharge’s message reinforces cultural nationalism with progressive undertones. Vivekananda’s vision of ‘Vedaanta for the masses’ democratizes wisdom, much like Congress’s social justice agenda.
Concluding on an optimistic note, Kharge envisioned a ‘Yuva Bharat’ driving sustainable growth. National Youth Day thus becomes more than commemoration—it’s a charge for action, with Vivekananda as the eternal guide.
