A significant highlight of the day was the unveiling of an 18.50-foot mural of Swami Vivekananda on the Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence building by the Honourable Minister of IT, Government of Telangana.
A public meeting, addressed by esteemed dignitaries including Sri D Sridhar Babu, Minister of IT, Sri S Gurumurthy from Chennai, and Sri Appala Prasad, a renowned orator in the state, further enriched the event.
The program also included the presentation of the prestigious Swami Vivekananda Youth Leadership Award to nearly 20 deserving youths.
