vivekananda: Swami Vivekananda’s Contributions Remembered | Mysuru News – Times of India

Mysuru: Additional DC BS Manjunatha Swamy expressed concerns over the increasing trend of brain drain due to the love for dollars among today’s youth. “Today’s youth are knowledgeable. But sadly, they want to do business in dollars,” he said.
He spoke after inaugurating Vivekananda Jayanti and national youth week celebrations at the Hindustan College here. The event was organised by the district administration in collaboration with the department of youth empowerment and sports, Mysuru zilla panchayat, and the NSS unit of the college.
“Today’s generation is forgetting those who fought for social reforms, freedom struggle, and other causes. Youth should understand history. They must start reading more,” he said.
Mysuru ZP deputy secretary Prem Kumar said Vivekananda spread the fragrance of Indian culture, heritage, and religion across the globe. “He led the revival of Indian values. He is the tallest spiritual leader of the country,” he said, adding Vivekananda’s preaching will guide Indian society forever.
K Suresh, assistant director, department of youth empowerment and sports said the event will help motivate youth to take up social service besides inculcating various values in life.
Follow his ideals: MLA
Chamaraja MLA L Nagendra said Swamy Vivekananda made the world look towards Hinduism, while speaking at the Vivekananda Jayanti organised by the Paduvarahalli Sneha Balaga here.
“We all must follow the ideals preached by the Vivekananda to attain success in life,” the BJP legislator said.
