Be inspired by Netaji, build 'New India': Naidu to youth

Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday urged the youth to derive inspiration from the life of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and lead from the front in building a 'New India' - a happy and prosperous nation where every citizen gets equal opportunities and where there is no discrimination.

Noting that about 65 per cent of the population is below the age of 35, he said it is time for the youth to be in the forefront in eradicating poverty, illiteracy, social and gender discrimination, casteism and communalism.

Naidu was addressing the officer-trainees attending the Foundation Course at MCR HRD Institute here on the occasion of 125th birth anniversary of Bose which is being celebrated as 'Parakram Diwas.'

In last-minute change, PM visits Netaji's Elgin Road residence

Making a last minute change to its official schedule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Netaji's ancestral home at Elgin Road on Saturday.

After arriving at the airport at around 2.45 pm, PM Modi took a chopper and came to Race Couse ground. From there he directly came to Netaji Bhawan to pay tribute to Netaji on his 125th birth anniversary. From Elgin Road, the PM will reach National Library and then to Victoria Memorial, sources said.

Earlier in the day, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee paid a surprise visit to Netaji's paternal home and from there she headed out for a rally at Shyambazar to pay tribute to the revolutionary.

PM Modi, however, had a schedule to attend to two different programmes at National Library and Victoria Memorial on Saturday. But sources said that a visit to Netaji's Elgin Road residence was added to the itinerary at the eleventh hour.
