New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a students' convention on Monday to mark the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda's Chicago address and BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya's centenary celebrations.
The theme of the convention is 'Young India, New India'.
" I look forward to addressing a gathering of students on the theme of Young India, New India'," Modi tweeted.
The convention of students is being held on a day Vivekananda delivered his historic address at Chicago in 1893, he noted.
