During the program, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami extended his best wishes to everyone on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the flag bearer of India’s great tradition, the Rishi tradition, and a source of inspiration for the youth. The CM said that it was a privilege for him to be among the youth at this Swadeshi Pledge Run. These young people are sources of energy, and the energy within them, after spreading throughout the world, returns to the world, which works to increase energy. The CM said that today is a day to reflect on the power, resolve, and potential of India’s youth.
The CM said that Swami Vivekananda had said, “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is achieved, and keep striving until the goal is attained.” This message of Swami Vivekananda is like a mantra for all the youth today. Vivekananda had described the youth as the strong foundation of nation-building. Today, India is moving forward with this idea and mantra. The youth are not only the present but also the future of the country. In this way, the energy, thinking, and hard work of the youth will play a crucial role in realizing the resolve to make India a developed nation by 2047. This Swadeshi Pledge Run is not just an event, but a step taken by the youth towards a self-reliant India.
CM Dhami congratulated the youth on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. He also paid tribute to him, saying that Swami Vivekananda is a source of inspiration for the youth. Today, India is also the youngest country in the world, where 65 percent of the population is under 42 years of age. In this context, India is one of the youngest countries in the world. Currently, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s youth are getting opportunities for innovation. Innovation is being promoted by focusing on youth in the fields of education, employment, and self-employment. To connect the youth of the state with employment, 27,000 young people have been given government jobs in the last four years, which is a record in itself.
