National Startup Day-16 JANUARY

On National Startup Day, we commemorate a visionary initiative that has given India’s entrepreneurial spirit a strong global identity. Launched under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Startup India initiative has provided institutional support to innovation and harnessed the energy of India’s youth.

Over the past decade, Startup India has evolved beyond a policy into a people’s movement. Today, India stands as the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, where education, skills, research and solution-oriented thinking are driving economic growth and job creation. This journey reflects the nation’s steady progress towards Atmanirbhar Bharat, powered by the confidence and creativity of its young innovators.

उठो, जागो और लक्ष्य प्राप्ति तक रुको मत। Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.
बल ही जीवन है, दुर्बलता मृत्यु है। Strength is life, weakness is death.
फुटबॉल खेलकर स्वर्ग के अधिक निकट पहुंच सकते हो, गीता पढ़कर नहीं। You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the Bhagavad Gita.
जीवन में जोखिम लो—जीतोगे तो नेतृत्व करोगे, हारोगे तो मार्गदर्शन करोगे। Take risks in life—if you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide.
शिक्षा मनुष्य में निहित पूर्णता का प्रकटीकरण है। Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man.
मानव सेवा ही ईश्वर सेवा है। Service to man is service to God.
निर्भयता ही सच्चे युवा की पहचान है। Fearlessness is the hallmark of true youth.
सत्य, पवित्रता और निःस्वार्थता चरित्र के स्तंभ हैं। Truth, purity, and unselfishness are the pillars of character.
केवल अपने लिए नहीं, समाज के उत्थान के लिए कार्य करो। Work for the upliftment of society, not just for yourself.
आध्यात्मिकता शक्ति है, पलायन नहीं। Spirituality is strength, not escape.
अपनी संस्कृति और सनातन धर्म पर गर्व करो। Be proud of your culture and Sanatan Dharma.
प्रकृति में दिव्यता देखो—नदियों, वनों और जीवों की रक्षा करो। See divinity in nature—protect rivers, forests, and animals.
सारी शक्ति तुम्हारे भीतर है; तुम सब कुछ कर सकते हो। All power is within you; you can do anything and everything.
वे ही जीते हैं जो दूसरों के लिए जीते हैं। They alone live who live for others.

Swami Vivekananda and the Youth of India: A Vision for Today

Bing Videos

Introduction

Swami Vivekananda, the fiery monk of India, once declared: “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.” His words continue to echo across generations, especially for the youth of India who stand at the crossroads of modern challenges and eternal values. In today’s scenario, where health concerns, drug abuse, career pressures, and cultural erosion threaten young minds, Vivekananda’s teachings offer a guiding light—anchoring them in spirituality, ethics, and responsibility towards society and the environment.

Health and Drugs

Physical vitality: Vivekananda emphasized strength—“You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the Bhagavad Gita.” He believed a healthy body is the foundation of a strong mind.
Drug menace: Today, many youths fall prey to substance abuse. Vivekananda’s call for discipline and self-control reminds us that true freedom lies in mastery over desires, not in slavery to addictions.
Preventive care: Balanced diet, yoga, and meditation—rooted in Indian tradition—are practical tools to fight stress and maintain holistic health.

Career and Life Skills

Purpose-driven career: Vivekananda urged youth to dedicate their talents to nation-building. Careers should not only be about wealth but also about service and innovation.
Life skills: Communication, resilience, and problem-solving are essential today. Vivekananda’s stress on self-confidence and fearlessness equips youth to face competitive challenges.
Skill development: His vision resonates with NEP 2020, encouraging practical skills alongside academics.

Spirituality and Ethics

Inner awakening: Vivekananda taught that spirituality is not escapism but empowerment. Meditation and self-reflection help youth find clarity amidst chaos.
Sanatan Dharma: Eternal values like truth, compassion, and respect for elders are timeless anchors. They protect youth from moral confusion in a rapidly changing world.
Cultural pride: By embracing India’s rich traditions—festivals, literature, and arts—youth can balance modernity with rootedness.

Environmental Responsibility

Harmony with nature: Vivekananda saw divinity in all beings. Protecting rivers, forests, and animals is not just ecological duty but spiritual practice.
Youth action: From tree plantation drives to sustainable living, young Indians can lead the fight against climate change.
Ethical consumption: Sanatan ethics teach moderation—avoiding waste and respecting resources.

Conclusion

Swami Vivekananda’s vision is more relevant today than ever. He inspires youth to be strong in body, fearless in mind, compassionate in heart, and responsible in action. By integrating health, career, spirituality, life skills, cultural values, Sanatan ethics, and environmental care, the youth of India can truly embody his dream: “They alone live who live for others.”

NCC DAY -November 23rd

NCC Day, or National Cadet Corps Day, is celebrated annually in India to honor the spirit of patriotism, discipline, and service among youth.

In 2025, the 77th NCC Day will be observed on November 23rd.

This day marks the establishment of the NCC in 1948, which aims to develop leadership, discipline, and patriotism among young people.

The day is dedicated to appreciating the selfless service and leadership qualities instilled in the youth of India.

NCC INTEGRATED SOFTWARE | NIS

National Cadet Corps is a Tri-Services Organisation comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force, engaged in grooming the youth – 'The Leaders of Tomorrow' – into disciplined and patriotic citizens.

The genesis of the NCC can be traced back to the First World War, when the British created the University Corps as the second line of defense and to have a large pool of trained youth available for employment into the Armed Forces.

After independence, the present-day NCC under the Ministry of Defence came into existence on 16 Apr 1948 through NCC Act XXXI, 1948.

NCC was formally inaugurated on 15 Jul 1948 as soon as the schools and colleges reopened after summer vacation.

The Girls Division of the NCC was started in Jul 1949. In 1950, Air Wing was added on 01 Apr with one Air squadron each at Bombay and Kolkata.

The Naval Wing of the NCC was raised in Jul 1952, thus completing the true representation of all services in the Corps. Presently, NCC has approximately 13 Lakhs Cadets under its fold.

Today, it carries the imprint of his indomitable spirit.

This unforgettable moment of Wg Cdr Namansh Syal,

captured during his Tejas sortie in Guwahati,

will forever remind the nation of a hero whose duty knew no bounds.
