Today is National Youth Day, the birth day of Swami Vivekananda. A grateful nation is celebrating Swamiji's hundred fifty fourth birth anniversary with much fanfare. Several functions are being organised across the country to mark the occasion. AIR correspondent reports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address National Youth Day function at Rohtak through video conferencing. <br/><br/>Vivekananda wanted from the youth, muscles of iron and nerves of steel. He said the youth of the country are exceptionally responsive and they just need to be encouraged in their quest for justice for common benefit. <br/><br/>Today's India is at its youngest best and has the power to meet any challenge with the collective effort of all people, especially young remembering Swamiji's immortal words Arise, Awake and stop not till the goal is reached. <br/><br/>Swami Vivekananda's speech at the first Parliament of the World's Religions, held in Chicago is considered as one of his most significant contributions to the world. It was a breakdown of the ancient philosophy of Hindusim, aided with logic and impeccable scientific insight which will inspire youths across boundaries. <br/><br/>Swami Vivekananda was and is not only the medium; he is himself the message as well for the youth of India. The 21st National Youth Festival will continue in Rohtak till 16th January. The theme of this year's Festival is 'Youth for Digital India'.
