National Youth Day (12 January)


Youth Day in India is commemorated on 12 January on the birthday of Swami Vivekananda. And in the year of 1984, the Govt. of India affirmed and determined to view the birthday of Swami Vivekananda (12 January, in accordance with an English calendar) as a National Youth Day each year from 1985 elapsed. To reference from the Govt. of India’s statement, ‘It was felt that the philosophy of Swamiji and the ideals for which he lived and worked could be a great source of inspiration for the Indian Youth.

Nothing Is Impossible :Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak. -Swamiji
