Youth power can bring revolutionary changes in society: CM

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said that youth power can bring revolutionary changes in society, as he appealed the people to realise this strength for a better life.
"Youth power can bring revolutionary changes to society utilising your potentialities. India is a country of young people with 65 per cent of its population below 35 years of age. That is the potentiality we have to realise and we give to society and revolutionary change can be brought to society," he said while inaugurating the 'international exhibition on sustainability and the power of one single individual' here.
"There is a lot of restlessness and excitement prevailing among people today. They have to cool down to their best potential of their intelligence and knowledge in building an opinion of themselves and society", Sonowal said.

"We have to believe that we have to make our life beautiful, value life, world, make it easy for others to live. These positive attitudes are important for modern day world", he said at the exhibition organised by Bharat Soka Gakkai (BSG).
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swacch Bharat Mission, Sonowal said, "Its idealism is that where there is discipline and value, there stands commitment. Be with these values and be committed to serve people and our country."
The chief minister pointed out that Assam, endowed with natural resources and has people of various ethnicities, is the birth place of great saints and cultural icons.

"So it's a divine heavenly place. It is only through discipline and love we can serve our motherland," he added.
Referring to the title of the exhibition 'Seeds of hope', Sonowal said, "Every body lives with hope in his/her life. Values in life have to be created and devotion be central to it. If your mind is clean, then will your thoughts and mind be leading to good deeds."
BSG is engaged in their 'human revolution', drawing inspiration from the humanistic life philosophy of Japanese Buddhist sage Nichiren Daishonin (1222-1282) that a fundamental change in a single individual can bring about a great transformation in society.
