देश के युवाओं को प्रेरित करने के लिए स्वामी विवेकानंद के जन्मदिवस (12 जनवरी) को प्रतिवर्ष राष्ट्रीय युवा दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है ।
National Youth Day on January 12.
India celebrates National Youth Day on January 12. This date was chosen to honor the birthday of Swami Vivekananda, one of India’s greatest spiritual and social leaders. He saw hope for the future in every child and believed that with “muscles of iron” and “nerves of steel” they could bring about social change. Swami himself personified the eternal energy of the youth and a restless quest for truth. Today, almost 50 percent of India’s population is under the age of 25. The future of the country rides on their shoulders — making celebrations that empower young people so important.
