The rally commenced from the Jyothi circle and saw its end at the Kendra Maidan of the city. An formal ceremony was organized by the celebration committee as a part of the Run.
The joint general secretary of the RSS National committee, Dattatreya Hosabale was the main speaker of the event.
He said,”The youth of India have to unite themselves and work together for the betterment of the country. The country has to be awakened which has to awaken the whole world.
Today Swami Vivekananda is still alive in the hearts of the people. Vivekananda dreamt the dream of the united India which is free from violence. But today youth are fighting with each other on basis of caste, creed and religion. Hence there is a need to implement the values invocated by Swami Vivekananda in our lives.”
