Mangaluru: “Swamy Vivekananda’s dream was to develop the least person of the country. Though it has been seven decades after independence, basic facilities are not provided everywhere. Vivekananda’s thought are ideal since Mahathma Gandhi to present prime minister,” said MP Meenakshi Lekhi.

She was addressing the gathering in National Youth Day Celebration held on the occasion of Swamy Vivekananda’s birth anniversary by Ganapathi Educational Trust, on Wednesday.

“As the city has been selected for smart city project, providing basic facility to each people should be concentrated. Students should understand the thoughts of Swamy Vivekananda and should apply them into their life,” she said.

Dharmavrathanandaji of Ramakrishna Math said that developing humanity in life is very important. When we have the confidence to achieve something, then only we become youth.
