A youth commission will soon come into existence in the state. Chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said this while interacting with the youths of the state virtually on the occasion of 158th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand on Tuesday.
Regarding the youth commission, the chief minister said that budgetary provision has been made for it. He said that Vivekanand had made the whole world aware of Indian culture and philosophy. The culture of India is best as it has the strength to move forward taking all along. Vivekanand had laid special stress on the need for the youth to have physical, mental and intellectual strength. Referring to his special affection for Uttarakhand, Rawat said that Vivekanand had described his memories of Almora, Bagehswar and Agastyamuni.
