TRANSCRIPT
Interactive Sessions on "Vivekananda – Rousing Call to the YOUth" Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest visionaries of the world, had a great faith in channelizing the youth
power towards nation building. His electrifying words havebeen motivating millions and millions of people
towards leading a life of fulfillment by serving the nation.
Disha conducted one-hour sessions on"Vivekananda – Rousing Call to the YOUth" in lieu of Vivekananda
Jayanti. The program was unique in both its approach and the message. The session included a talk on the
different aspects of Swami Vivekananda’s personality(blemish less character, patriotic fervor, cultural
ambassador, and propagator of seva) and the second half was dedicated to a video interaction which focused
on how each individual can imbibe the personality traits of Swami Vivekananda mentioned above. The session
also highlighted the relevance of the historic speech Swamiji delivered in Chicago 125 years ago.
The specialty of this year, Disha conducted 2 training programs towards training participants on conducting
the one-hour session in institutions in which over 75 participants took part. These volunteers went around
contacting institutions, fixing the programs and conducted themselves in few places as well.
Disha, with a dedicated team of volunteers, in a span of just one month (Jan 6 to Feb 7), conducted 239
sessions reaching exactly 200 institutions taking the message of Swamiji to 37,000 students. We reached to the
urban, semi-urban and rural places. The institutions ranged from primary school to the post graduate level
and to the professional courses. We even conducted a few programs for general public.
At the end of the session, Swamiji’s call to the youth to have a blemish less character, nationalistic spirit, faith
in one’s culture and empathy towards others were highlighted.Finally the session ended with -
• Do you have the Heart to feel?(feel for the needy, feel for the motherland)
• Do you have the Head to think?(think of the ways of helping the needy and towards national growth)
• Do you have the Hands to serve?(Practically working for the deprived and nation)
The managements of the institutions were overwhelmedby the response that they received from the students
about the program and many institutions have promised us to give workshops for the development of students in
coming days. The spark in the eyes of participantsensured Disha Team to build a vibrant India by transforming
oneself.

captivated the audience and the judges alike. Although there was a drastic increase in the number of participants,
the judges encouraged the students and provided valuable feedback to each one of them.
Street Play witnessed 20 teams from various institutions participating enthusiastically with their creative
presentations on “Corruption in daily life” or “Peep into the future”. The teams presented their unique ideas
through their dialogues and minimum costumes without even props or music or any instruments. The judges
