New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre ‘Vivek Smarak’ in Mysuru, Karnataka. Modi said that through this memorial, we have to create such youth for whom nation first is the supreme mantra, whose life goal is to serve Mother India. Swami Vivekananda ji considered the education of youth as a strong foundation for nation building. He had seen how countries across the world were educating their youth. But unfortunately, India was a slave at that time. India’s youth were also bound in the chains of slavery. From that time till today, India’s youth has come a long way. The youth of India, who were once in chains, are today accelerating the development of the world.

Praising India’s youth power, Modi said that today India’s economy is growing at the fastest pace, all due to the strength of India’s youth. Today, India has the third largest startup ecosystem in the world, and that too is due to the strength of India’s youth. Today, India has become the world’s second largest mobile phone manufacturer, and that too is possible due to the strength of India’s youth. Today, digital solutions made in India are becoming an inspiration for many countries around the world, and this is also due to the strength of India’s youth. Today, India is rapidly moving forward on a new journey of semiconductor manufacturing, and this is also due to the strength of India’s youth. It is very important for the youth to remain healthy, disciplined, and full of confidence. In countries that value sports, these three qualities develop rapidly in their youth. Therefore, today sports are being seen as an important aspect of nation building.

Talking about Swami Vivekananda, the Prime Minister said, a person does not become a great personality all of a sudden, for this we have to face countless tests of life, do sadhana, do austerity, test ourselves, sacrifice ourselves. After fame, the world stands behind. But it is not easy to recognize great personalities during penance. The one who recognizes a seeker in penance, is also a partner in his success. About 130 years ago, Swami Vivekananda came to Mysore while travelling as a young monk, then his fame was not that much, but his thoughts were equally high. At that time, among those who recognized him, who associated with him, a prominent name was also that of the then Maharaja of Mysore.
