The memorial has been built at the site of Niranjana Math (Old Anathalaya) on N.S. Road, where Swami Vivekananda stayed during his visit to Mysuru as a wandering monk in November 1892.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Viveka Smaraka youth centre in Mysuru. This centre aims to inspire young Indians with nation-building and service ideals. The Prime Minister highlighted youth strength driving India's economic growth and development. He also emphasized education in mother tongue and promoting local products. The new facility will nurture youth dedicated to national service and societal welfare.
"I don't want to waste your time. Prime Minister's message is very important for the country,” Shivakumar said.
While India was under colonial rule during Vivekananda’s lifetime and its youth were shackled by slavery, today’s young Indians were shaping the country’s future across diverse sectors, he said.
