National Youth Day, observed annually on January 12th, commemorates the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, a revered spiritual leader and philosopher. Established by the Indian government in 1984, this day aims to inspire youth by promoting Vivekananda's ideals of self-belief, unity, and service. In 2025, the theme is "Youth Empowerment for Nation Building," encouraging young individuals to contribute actively to India's development. Celebrations include speeches, seminars, and cultural activities that highlight Vivekananda's teachings and their relevance today. This observance serves as a reminder of the pivotal role youth play in shaping a progressive and harmonious society.
