Uttar Pradesh is most fortunate to have largest youth energy: CM Yogi Adityanath

Addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur, he recalled the words of Swami Vivekananda, who had said that "If I get 100 energetic youths, I will change the destiny of India", underlining the transformative potential of the younger generation.

The Chief Minister also paid tribute to historical figures such as Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and Guru Gobind Singh, noting that they made great sacrifices for the country in their youth.

"Swami Vivekananda Ji had said that if I get 100 energetic youths, I will change the destiny of India. This means that youth energy is the energy of the nation... All great heroes, including Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who sacrificed their lives for the country, were youths... In India, youth power has always been aligned with truth, the eternal, and positive energy. The world is fortunate, and within India, Uttar Pradesh is the most fortunate, to have the largest youth energy", he said.

He emphasised that this demographic strength plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the nation.
