On the occasion, the young students were made aware about the perceptions and teachings of Swami Vivekananda.
Notably, the Youth Day was organized with an aim to spread awareness about the teachings of Swami Vivekananda concerning the Indian philosophy, culture, tradition and the roles of youth to build a strong nation. Under the Youth Day, a seminar was organized at the college premises here on Monday. The seminar was conducted by Urukram Sharma and Shailendra Ojha. They were present as the chief guests of the programme.
While addressing the students and faculty members, the chief speakers said, “Swami Vivekananda was a social activist, and worked for eradicating many social evils during the British Raj. He was an Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple of the 19th century saint Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world.
He was a major force in creating awareness among the youngsters of the country to raise voice against the wrong. Moreover, through his speeches, he inspired the non followers as well.” They further emphasised that the youngsters should follow Swami Vivekanada’s footsteps not only to build a strong nation but also to build a strong self personality. The students were advised to set goals and achive them with persistent behaviour.
