Mangaluru, Jan 08, 2015: ’Vivek Band 2016’ , aimed at promoting “Be Good-Do Good” on the occasion of the 153rd birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, was inaugurated.

Film director T.S. Nagabharana unveiled the initiative organised by Samartha Bhratha Trust, an organisation dedicated to promoting volunteering among the youth.   Speaking on the occasion, Director Nagabharana said that one should not be selfish but cherish doing something good for society.

He said that for India to remain strong, initiatives such as “Be Good-Do Good” are required. One does not need special occasions to remember or serve a fellow being and everyday, one should be dedicated in serving the nation in one way or the other. Mangalore University registrar T.D. Kemparaju said that India with a wide diversity of religion and ethnic character is a major global player. The country, which is heading in the right direction now, needs to battle evils such as corruption and crime and campaigns such as this one would help serve the purpose.

While a State-wide campaign will be launched on January 12, “Vivek Bands” would be available across many retail outlets, said Samartha Bharatha in a release.
