Vivekananda Kendra Kanyakumari, West-Bengal Prant, Eknath Vibhag, Bidhannagar Branch, organized a two-hour Youth Motivation Workshop for the first-semester students of the Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology in Bidhannagar on 23rd August 2024. A total of 80 students actively participated in the workshop.

The workshop began with Mangalacharanam and was followed by yogasan practices. 

Afterward, an interactive session on the topic "Swami Vivekananda - The Eternal Source of Inspiration" was conducted by Adarneeya Sri Vishwasji Lapalkar, Paschimbanga Prant Sangathak of VRM & VK. He discussed five key mantras to learn from Swami Vivekananda’s life: "Be and Make," "Strength is Life; Weakness is Death," "Expansion is Life; Contraction is Death," "Service to Man is Service to God," and "Renunciation and Service."

A short film on Eknathji was shown to the students. The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks and the Shantimantra. A seven-day yoga satra is planned for the students in September 2024.
