"Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man", says Swami Vivekananda, "We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one's own feet." Swami Vivekananda was himself an illustrious example of his idea of educated youth.

Swami Vivekananda had a great vision for the youth of our country. With a clear philosophy of life along with proper understanding of values and culture, youth can be developed into beacon lights. The presence of even a handful of such youth in the society can make a huge difference in the process of Nation Building. For achieving this purpose Ramakrishna Vivekananda Charitable Trust, Dehu-Aalandi Road, Talawade, PUNE. has initiated a youth awareness programme-

• Arranging Youth Conventions for college students.
• Arranging spiritual retreats for spiritual seekers ( sadhaks ).
• Celebrating the holy birth anniversaries of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna deva, Maa Sarada, Swami Vivekananda, Lord Buddha, Jesus Christ and some other Revered saints of the world.
