National Youth Day is celebrated in India on January 12th each year. The day marks the birthday of Swami Vivekananda, a key figure in the introduction of Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. Swami Vivekananda was born on January 12, 1863, and his teachings continue to inspire and motivate the youth.
The Indian government declared Swami Vivekananda's birthday as National Youth Day in 1984. The day is observed to encourage and empower the youth, to inspire them to follow the path of values and ideals advocated by Swami Vivekananda.
On National Youth Day, various programs, seminars, and events are organized across the country to promote the importance of youth in nation-building. It is a time to reflect on Swami Vivekananda's teachings, which include principles of tolerance, harmony, and the potential of the youth to bring about positive change in society. Schools, colleges, and youth organizations often participate in activities that focus on character building, leadership development, and social responsibility.
