Since 1985, India celebrates the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda as National Youth Day.
He is remembered as one of the most prolific thinkers and a great example of a responsible
youth.
Undoubtedly, we all long to see an impression of leaders like him in our children too. We want
them to flourish in the spring of their life and do something outstanding. We leave no stone
unturned to provide them the chances of doing what they're capable of doing. But we seldom
think beyond the circle of our families. We often fail to make a difference to the lives of those
who are from economically weaker sections.
An NGO for Children in Bangalore, Akshaya Patra has been selflessly taking care of these
children since 16 years. So let’s mark the upcoming January 12 with a change of thought and
donate for education in India.
Let not money be the cause of undiscovered talents
Everybody has an equal right to get educated, get their talents recognized and lead a better life.
Letting the lack of money be the hindrance to children’s growth is the worst thing on our part
who don't do anything about it. This is where NGO’s role in India proves that faith in humanity
and kindness should not and would not end. We must supportthe vision of organisations like

Akshaya Patra that says ‘No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger’ by
donating for education in India.
Children can change the face of our country in future
Children can be very determined about following their dreams. Provided all the opportunities,
they can perform extremely well in their fields of interest. Thus they have a potential to project
themselves as a bright future of our country if supported and guided well. We all dream of a
better, safer, and developed country but what do we really contribute to this dream? Think for
yourself. We know that children are the future of our country and we need to realize that if
each one of us sponsors just one of the needy children, we can have so many stories of hope
changed to reality.
Give up the formula of someone-else-might-help
This is the greatest threat to those in need and a major setback to the evolution of responsible
youth. If all of us believed that someone else would come forward, logically there would be no
one actually offering help. Fortunately, Akshaya Patra, the child NGO from Bangalore believes in
taking the initiative and has been serving the cause for 16 years. This NGO’s role in India has set
a benchmark and is a great inspiration to thewhole world.
Needless to say, contributing toward the making of responsible youth and helping the needfulis
not an option but our moral obligation. So let’s pledge to do it now and forever.
