Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing, via video conferencing, a Youth Convention at Tumakuru in Karnataka. He will speak on ‘Youth Power: A Vision for New India.’
The youth convention at Tumakuru is being organised to mark the Silver Jubilee Celebrations of the Ramakrishna Vivekananda Ashram in Tumakuru and celebrate Sister Nivedita’s 150th birth anniversary.
Last year, at an event, to mark the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s address in Chicago, PM Modi had said that Swami Vivekanand's ideas and idealism paved way for an institutional framework via Ramakrishna Mission.
Swami Vivekanand raised his voice against the social evils that have entered our society, the PM said and asked young Indians to take inspiration to lead on a global stage.
Here are Highlights of PM Modi's address:
