He urged the current generation to take inspiration from the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and contribute their best for the development of the society. "You have to decide what you want to become in your life. With a determination, you have to strive hard and reach the desired destination. The state government is implementing several schemes for the youths. You make use of them," he said.
