He said hundreds of salutes to Swami Vivekanand, who established Indian spirituality and culture on the global stage. He said, full of energy and enthusiasm, Swamiji’s thoughts and messages will continue to inspire the youth to do something from time to time.

Referring to Swami Vivekananda who tried to re-establish the ideal of life of the nation, the Chief Minister said that sacrifice and service should be the ideals of India. Dr. Saha, therefore, called upon the youth to devote themselves to the work of re-building the nation on these two ideals. Again referring to Swami Vivekananda who sincerely believed that India has to wake up to address its problems, Dr. Saha said that since the youth of the nation are the most powerful components for societal growth, they should love the nation which has done so much for everybody. Calling upon the youth to be engaged in the work of nation building, he requested them to ignite themselves with fire and enthusiasm. The Chief Minister also requested the youth to prepare themselves and plunge to solve the problems of the nation and contribute to the process of re-discovering its inner vitality.
