“Call to the Youth” seminar was organized by the prestigious Swami Vivekananda Kendra, at Vivekananda Education Society’s Institute of Technology on the 12th January, 2019, Saturday for the VESIT students and faculty. The guest speaker Shri Vishwas Ramchandra Lapalkar, Prant Sanghatak of Maharashtra Prant, was introduced to the congregation by Ms. Yamini Agrawal, a 1st year MCA student of our college, who briefly recounted his achievements before inviting him to the Dias.

The seminar was opened by offering the flowers to the Swami Vivekananda by Mr. Vishwasji.

Mr. Vishwasji took the stage

He started with informing the audience, that a museum dedicated to Swami Vivekananda was inaugurated 1 year ago, by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Rameshwaram, at a place very close to the residence of the ex-president Abdul Kalam. He said that the intended topic of the day was originally “Born to Succeed” which he prudently changed to “Born to Blossom” which is also the name of a book written by Dr. Abdul Kalam.

He recounted fondly of how his journey had begun with this same institution many many years ago, when he along with his 15 friends were addressed by Mr. Hashu Adwani who inspired him to know more about Swami Vivekananda and his mission. He enlightened the life of Swami Vivekananda and also shared to the students how he wanted the youth to lead the life ahead.
